Fishing for a wrap theme

Wishing to do something creative for a gift wrapping project? Often intentions are overshadowed by other events. Often it is hard just to get paper, ribbon and bow that match. One way to get the ball rolling is to start with a theme. Does the gift you are wrapping offer ideas for a theme?

Maybe a bow isn’t the answer. Exotic birds and fish offer great solutions. Try dressing them up in whimsical shirts complete with accessories. Make your creative creatures from colored paper and clips from magazines. Make copies of your imaginary critters. Divide the box top into an simple grid and place copies of your creation into each square. Be creative when developing your own gift wrapping theme, remember that your whimsical fish can have hands and faces if you want.

For some the task to find that perfect gift has gotten easier with the advent of online shopping. And this year, more people than ever will take that path. If you are browsing, the store, with it large displays of the newest items is still a good choice .

Don’t short change yourself when it comes time decorate, the red hat may be the magic hat that inspires creative ideas from mantles and windows to lawn and door decorations.

And when it come to wrapping those gifts… well there is a great opportunity to really have some fun. Extra effort in the gift wrapping department may give new meaning in the phrase : less is more.” It doesn't take a lot of effort to send a message that says, "You are special."

Tip 22
Creating presents with a theme can be great fun. For fall, leaves cut from paper and embellished with colored pencil are a nice. Colors of gold and green work well together.
