Packaging!

We love to give a gift that's as special as the recipient. For us gift giving is a part of storytelling, a way to say thank you or we've selected something especially for you, its a way to show appreciating or to cheer someone up. One of our favorite parts of the gift giving process is the packaging... a great gift starts when a beautifully packaged object is placed in the hands of the one it is meant for. Here are some of our favorite ideas for creating a beautifully packaged gift.

love the eco friendly and sophisticated look of these fabric wraps from Chewing the Cud. 

love the clean and simple packaging from thinkgarnish.com

and for some fun and inexensive packaging pick me ups... check out our favorites from etsy!

Oh how I love thee, Anthropologie...

Once again Anthropologie came up with adorable packaging for their holiday gifts. I absolutely love the color palette they chose and the simplicity of the felt circles attached to a shoelace type string. It's

just perfect.

What is so fun about these circles too is that you can create different looks on each package. Of course, if you have a favorite style you can keep them all the same.

How cute would these be tied around napkins at your wedding or used as a simple garland at a dessert table?
