Presentation.

I'm a believer that presentation sets the mood. For example, dinner might taste better if it's on a pretty plate with candles lit on the table. You may sleep better if your bed is crisply made with just the corner turned down, inviting you in. And a gift may be just a little more awesome when it's beautifully wrapped.  

This was for a dear little munchkin's 4th birthday party. My go-to store for wrapping materials is my local World Market. There's no beating their unique selection of gift wrap and bags. I picked up the gift wrap and matching clips there. Spools of tool can be picked up at your local craft store (Michael's or Joanne's). Here's a hint- it's not in the fabric section. Strangely enough, it's in the cake decorating/packaging aisle in colors for all occasions.  (which is very necessary for cuteness- way better then ribbon and great for making bows!)



great little matching clips- perfect for clipping a card/tag onto your masterpiece.



Take your time, and trim trim trim. Excess wrapping on the ends makes for bulky packages. I also like to use two sided tape on edges so you don't see the tape.  

Whimsy in wrapping just takes a great gift to the next level!
