Is summer ever going to arrive? ☀️


Hello Reader,

So… it may not even feel like summer has arrived yet (although there’s a rumour of a heatwave next week ☀️)… but Christmas planning has quietly started behind the scenes here 🎄


Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had more people joining the priority list for my festive workshops, an invitation to collaborate on an online Christmas event later this year, and even an enquiry about running a class at a rather lovely country house in November.


And honestly? It’s always around this time of year that people (especially businesses, guest experience and event teams) begin thinking ahead, especially when it comes to Christmas events, workshops, gifting and festive experiences.


While most people are hopefully enjoying a slightly slower pace for summer - and looking forward to sunshine - venues, businesses and organisers are often already planning for Q4 behind the scenes.

It’s actually one of my favourite times of the year; seeing festive plans slowly begin to take shape before things get super busy later on - which also means I can take a break over the summer!


I’ve also been spending time refining ideas, planning workshops, and thinking carefully about how I want this Christmas season to feel, not just look.


Less frantic. More thoughtful. More experience-led.


And as always, beautifully wrapped gifts at the centre of it all 🎁


If you haven't already, don't forget to join the priority access list to hear about my upcoming offer!

I’ll share more soon, but for now I just wanted to say thank you for following along and supporting my little corner of the wrapping world 😊

Best wishes,

Lou
