Wrapped with Love!
Oooh it’s that time again…Yes love it or hate it, Valentines day is upon us and the world will be a little more loved up, which is surely not a bad thing?!
Over the years (single or attached) I’ve learned to embrace some of the traditions of Valentines day and do try (really I do) to enter into the spirit of things in my own way (with the exception of small fluffy teddies holding love hearts or paying double to eat out in overcrowded restaurants …that’s simply a step too far).
Ok, yes it can be a bit too ‘commercial’ and being a bit of a romantic (and being married to one too) in our house love and thoughtfulness is thankfully spread out over the course of the year but for me Valentines has its place (a rather sentimental gushy one that warms and brightens up this cold month of February) and gives me the perfect excuse to get creative and a little loved up in the wrapping room!!
For those, looking for some Valentines wrapping inspiration or if you just love wrapping fullstop, these are for you…
Keeping it simple….Plain white printer paper, string and a scrabble letter.
Want something more traditional? …Add two honeycomb love hearts (we found some at Paperchase) and use a hand written playing card as a matching gift tag.
Brown paper is perfect at any time of year, it’s just about what you put with it…Add a postcard next to it to say all you need to say this Valentines day!
With a little imagination this gorgeous map wrapping paper could say so much! Just add a clever caption to the tag to suit. Here’s some of our favourites: ‘You’re my world’, ‘You mean the world to me’ or ‘You’re out of this world’!
On trend …Bee’s are all the rage this Spring/Summer. (I LOVE bee’s!) How gorgeous is this wrapping paper by designer Linda Wood. Just add a pretty ribbon and a caption to suit!
We hope you’ve been totally inspired and are feeling the love this Valentines Day….Even if it’s just for the wrapping! Have a wonderful February whatever you get up to.
