Hello Reader, Your first edition of Gift Wrapping Made Easy™ is here! Every couple of weeks, I'll share a practical idea, simple technique, or finishing touch to help you wrap gifts with more confidence and a little extra creativity, along with a few behind-the-scenes stories from Wrapping HQ (including the bloopers 😂).

And if the Bank Holiday turns out to be characteristically British, i.e. requiring an umbrella and...
Hello Reader, Here we are at the end of another week of uncharacteristically hot UK weather - our new normal?! My sticky tape is just about surviving this time around 🙄This week, though, I want to talk about pot plants. Have you ever bought someone a lovely pot plant as a gift... and then simply handed it over in the bag it came in from the shop? 🪴 There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, of course. But what if you could make it look just a little bit more special? Plants are an awkward...
