The Art of Gifting Wrap THAT'S A

W hile the phrase "it's what's on the inside that counts" rings true, when it comes to presents I have always believed that beautiful wrap and presentation is just as important as the gift itself. The bag 'n' bow was not an option in our home when I was growing up. Maybe it's because I have such fond memories of family shopping on Canal Street at D.H. Holmes and Maison Blanche. It was a special treat to choose a fancy "custom wrap" design that was on display in the gift wrap section. Even as a child I thought "I can do that" . . . and honestly, anyone can. All you need is a little imagination and a hot glue gun.
