Beautiful & Simple Iand happiness of others is most rewarding, no matter how humble or great the gift, and can reflect the n our home, giving is simple in nature. A gift given or made with thoughtful anticipation of the needs
same fulfillment when wrapped with thoughtfulness as well. However, that does not require that you overexert yourself or spend your savings on all the pretty embellishments your eyes will ever see. There are many beautiful things around you. We live in a wooded landscape in the Midwest, which is full of colorful seasons. When I need inspiration, my daughters and I take a walk and collect small treasures to bring inside. Repurposing a recycled gift bag into wrapping paper is a way to create unique packaging. Have you ever held lonto something for a long time because you adored it so much you didn’t want to use it? The patterned navy paper was that something for me. I had forgotten about it, but was excited to rediscove it and then use it to wrap a special gift. Exquisite green artichokes have long been a favorite, either edible or un-edible! So I did not hesitate one second to top a gift with this delightful vegetable. It IS dried, of course! Gift tags are a cheerful embellishment. They can be effortlessly done with a few stamps and ink adding a personal touch. So be inspired from the beauty around and wrap from the heart, you and your gift receivers will be gladdened!
