An Artful Exchange

Tired of giving generic gifts or trying to find something for the person who already has everything?  Why not channel that energy into a simple, thoughtful gift with an unexpected presentation?  

Unique textiles and other nontraditional wrappings can enhance one’s sense of wonder and enrich the gifting experience. Wrapping with creative intention is a fun and easy way to live a more artful life! 

Eco-Friendly Wrapping

Old maps make extremely “smart”, eco-friendly wrapping paper.  Expand on this idea and use anything interesting like old blueprints or sheet music, or even stunning magazine pages.

Think Outside the Gift Bag

Find an interesting vessel for your gift.  You can re-purpose something, or you can actually create something yourself, like one of these artful paper boxes (we happen to be having a class on this in March, click here.)

A Whimsical Twist
