Unique Gift Wrapping
Here is a photo of last years birthday gift
from my sister.
I actually feel as excited over the way she wraps her
gifts, and the way she presents them, as
the thoughtful gifts she sends.
the thoughtful gifts she sends.
Last year each gift was wrapped in a lovely old
doily, tied with jute and a orange ribbon.
These doily's were also
sentimental as they belonged to
our mother.
I was just thinking of this as a great idea
to use, as we are so close to
the gift giving season.
There was also an idea that I used one year.
I bought a bunch of very inexpensive fabric,
and I sewed up bags to put gifts in.
I tied them with ribbon, and added a gift tag.
The tag was made out of brown paper
sacks cut out in a cute design.
I traced out the designs from my cookie cutters.
I know we all want to use our
resources wisely.
I think we can also give gifts of
things that already belong to us. Such
a much loved plate or bowl,
a treasured tea cup.
Think outside the media gift ideas!
Ask God for creative gift ideas!
To the man who please Him,
God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness.
Ecclesiastes 2:26

These are good ideas, Roxy. It is nice to put some extra thought into gift-giving.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing your sister Barbie did. She knew exactly what was perfect for you. I am so glad you got a picture of it. I love sharing all these Ideas... its inspiring. I love this post Rox, and I appreciate your scripture verse for the day.
ReplyDeleteTalk to you soon
I agree! That's using creative wisdom.... When we have an idea, we really need to write it down and then try and create it. It's always so inspiring and a sweet touch to any gift. That was a great scripture for the day!

How lovely. Yes I think I will now go through some of my materials and use them for gift wrappings like you did and your sweet sister. I love the idea of making gifts or giving something of value that you own already.
ReplyDeleteLove your posts so much Roxy!!
