Hello Reader,
​

If you're new to this newsletter, welcome...👋
​
Every week, I share gift wrapping tips, behind-the-scenes updates and the occasional glimpse into life as a professional gift wrapper.
​

You may think that running a gift wrapping business is all gorgeous wrapping paper, creating beautiful bows, piles of gifts and delivering training, classes and events...
​

And sometimes it is.
​

But the reality is often much more ordinary.
​

This week, my to-do list included:
​

• Following up on class proposals for the festive season
• Sending information for an online Signature Gift Wrapping Made Easy™ Class
• Updating class Terms & Conditions and FAQs
• Writing and scheduling content, including my latest Substack post
• Reviewing the stats for a recent LinkedIn article (my first one!)
• Reaching out to people I've worked with before to help them get their festive gift wrapping plans organised before the September and October rush
• Speaking to my running coach, who lives in Australia (my other life!)

And, of course...
​

☕ Drinking tea.
​

None of these tasks are particularly glamorous, but they're all important (especially the tea drinking!).

Because it's the planning, preparation and relationship-building that happens now which allows me to do the part I love later in the year: teaching people how to gift wrap with confidence, whether that's at a corporate event, an online class, or my Signature Gift Wrapping Made Easy™ in-person gift wrapping class 🙂
​

A new way to get in touch
​

A few people have asked whether they can contact me via WhatsApp rather than email, so I've decided to make that an option.
​

If you have a question about a class, corporate training session, team building activity, or gift wrapping in general, you're very welcome to send me a WhatsApp message on:
​

📱 07702 160617
​

I'd love to hear from you.
​

A quick note for Priority Access List members
​

If you joined the Priority Access List for my Signature Gift Wrapping Made Easy™ in-person gift wrapping class, keep an eye on your inbox next weekend.
​

I'll be sharing all the details, along with a little something extra for Priority Access members! More soon...
​

I hope you're enjoying a little sunshine wherever you are this weekend. As a runner, I am slightly obsessive when it comes to the weather 🤣

Best wishes,
​

Lou
