Happy Friday!
I cannot tell you how much I love pretty wrappings. For me- the prettier the wrapping the more it makes up for the crappy gift.
I went to William Sonoma to buy a gift for my friend who likes to bake. Especially cupcakes. I bought very very simple gifts: a cupcake holder, a cupcake cookbook and some bright pink sprinkles.
I purchased the items and walked around the mall. When I came back, the lady (who looks just liked Martha Stewart) came out from the back room as if on cue and walks down the aisle smiling proudly and nodding her head my way. I gasped and stopped in my tracks. My hands over my heart, leaning back I asked: 'For me????' Martha look-a-like nodded and reached the box of gifts towards me. Tears came to my eyes and for a moment I forgot that the gift was not for me. When that realization came to me after 30 seconds- I greatfully stammered "thank yous" and walked away proudly and so appreciative of the time spent to make this beautiful gift.
To me- there is nothing better than a pretty wrapped gift. I am so happy looking at that wrapped gifts.
