Pretty on the Outside: Unique Ways to Wrap Gifts - a list by tatorandtots

About this list:

Traditional wrapping paper is fine. But it serves to disguise, not entertain. Presents often spend weeks poking out from under the tree- why not make them tease and taunt while they're waiting? Attach novelties like fake mustaches, funky stickers, notepads or printed-up folding paper toys, use great cards, give jewelry (and a loupe!) tucked into the cardboard in a roll of designer toilet paper, try garland not ribbon, roll a tie into a Troll glass and use boxes that will serve a purpose later!

Little Birdies Garland

First to recommend

Description

For a lovely way to wrap a present, try opting for stashing items in a natural woven basket instead of a traditional box. and then use a garland like this in lieu of ribbon....

Sundance:
"Our little cotton birdies have brass bells for beaks, glass beads at the end of their tails. The flock of 30 gathers among alternating colors of glass beads. Exclusive. Imported. Birds measure 1-1/2"W; garland is 43-1/4"L."

Half the fun of holiday presents is looking at them under the tree for weeks and wondering what's inside. So take some time to make those gifts look great in order to up the anticipation. These boxes should go a long way towards that goal....

anya hindmarch First Class British Airways Travel Bag

First to recommend

Description

I discovered these a few years ago and have collected them ever since. They would make a fabulous gift alone or as the packaging for a theme kit- ie fill with manicure tools and sassy polish for a "Put Your Feet Up and Relax" gift or even better, stop by the local liquor store and buy the airline-sized mini bottles of booze for a "Travel Bar" present....

Some time ago, Anya Hindmarch- she of the fabulous bags- designed a travel kit full of goodies that was given to all First Class passengers on British Airways flights.

Well..... those kits make regular appearances on Ebay now. For usually under $10 you can find a new, unused Anya Hindmarch travel bag to use in a myriad of ways.

Re-read that- Anya Hindmarch. Under $10. Sigh. I'm giving myself little kisses for this discovery in between keystrokes.

Use the products within for your Mile-High adventures or fill it with your own favorite potions. There are so many designs available you should keep checking this link regularly. I have a dozen different ones. All fabulous.

Corset, Girdle and Bra Rubber Stamps

Description

I don't happen to be a very crafty beaver but one things I have mastered is rubber stamping. Great for creating glam stationary out of plain paper in a pinch, dressing up gift cards on presents or simply adding a little "somethin' somethin'" where needed.
