100 Posts and A Thank You Giveaway


A Gift Wrapped Life ~ Wrap Room Ensemble

As I told someone the other day........I love blogging. When I hit Publish Post on my first post in February, I knew it was going to open up a new world. I looked at it as a way to share some information and inspiration (I had hoped) about a subject I have become passionate about........beautiful and special gifting for women. What I failed to know on that first day was that I would be the one receiving the gifts. For the past 99 posts you have given me the gift of immense support, you have read, listened, commented, called and emailed. You have become followers, friends, cheerleaders, customers, and the most incredible support system I have ever seen. I need to thank you for all your wonderful support over the past 99 posts and the most heartwarming comments to me and my family in my last post. It's the perfect time for a Gorgeous Giveaway.



A Gift Wrapped Life ~ Wrap Room Ensemble

A Thank You Giveaway! Three of you are going to receive a gorgeous Wrap Room gift from my new website A Gift Wrapped Life. A special preview just for my blog readers. I tried to time it so the website was live by the time I posted my 100th post, but we are still a week away from it's official launch and I don't want to wait any longer to thank you in the best way I know how.........by wrapping up and sending a box of gorgeous. I was actually guilty of stalling a bit, the reason you haven't seen a post the past 10 days. To enter all you have to do is comment on this Giveaway post. If you are a follower or subscriber tell me, you will get 2 entries (this includes new followers so sign up). Mention This Giveaway on your blog and I will give you 2 extra entries (just let me know). Now let me tell you what's in this box of Wrap Room gorgeous.

The Wrap room section of our new gift website will have 18 different styles of Gift Wrap ensembles, with new styles being added as we go. This one pictured is Paris Bird. They are shipped in the presentation boxes as seen in the top 2 photos. Each Wrap Room box is lined with pleated tissue and holds an array of gift wrap paper, ribbon, tissue paper, enough supplies to wrap 4-6 large gifts or up to 16 smaller gifts and range in price from $39.00 to $79.00. The little takeaway boxes are where we put the generous ribbon lengths that match your gift wrap paper. I've done all the ribbon and paper matching for each of the 18 styles so you can mix and match and always be prepared to stylishly wrap a lovely gift. Depending on the price, some of the ensembles include embellishments (the wired paper flowers, the Paris labels) or they can be added as an extra to the basic ensemble. If you love gift wrapping, this will be your own personal version of gift wrap heaven. I have designed this section so that anyone who can tie a bow (or even a knot) or use a piece of tape can wrap beautifully. Our embellished presentation box is lovely to open and perfect for storing your wrapping supplies. My intention was to give you the same feeling as opening a dozen roses.........something beautiful and special just for you. My hope is that you will enjoy the pleasure of wrapping beautifully and pass along the special feeling that comes with giving a beautifully wrapped gift.



Along with sending the Wrap Room Boxed Ensemble I will be adding in a few of our Small Gifts, some extra petite pleasures to the Giveaway winners. I will do the giveaway the same day the new website goes live and then you can go on the site and pick the Wrap Room style your prefer. That gives you about 7-10 days to do your comment or add yourself to the blog followers (remember to tell me in your comment if you are already a follower or a new one). In the week ahead I will tell you what you can expect on this blog in the upcoming months.............. lots of new ideas to share. In the meantime ~ Thank you again, you have truly made my life gift wrapped in the most beautiful way.

  16. Sande,
    I am so proud of you! (As if you really need accalades from me). We both started our blogs about the same time, and I would have to say that you have definitely had HUGE success!
    I, of course, am a follower...So please put my name in the drawing! I am going to have to work up a post in your honor. I will let you know when it is posted!
    After reading about all of your great new merchandise, I was thinking how great it would be to open up a box full of your beautiful papers, ribbons, wired flowers, and labels, and then I thought that I would be so overwhelmed with all of the possibilities. Perhaps you could have a few "quick reference" cards included in your packages that give the URL addresses of some of your favorite blog posts. Or better yet, in your blog sidebar you can have a special quick reference guide for all of your customers who purchase gift wrap with various links to special wrapping styles...wrapping without bows, wrapping with labels, wrapping gifts for men, etc.

    Oh, and I cannot wait to see your new website. I know it will be gorgeous!!! Have a great weekend, mon amie!

  17. Congratulations on your 100th post! You have a lovely blog.

  28. I have been following your blog for sometime. I adore your blog and it inspires me. I am a huge gift giver but I have never been creative with my wrapping. My daughter in law Kathryn is from Canada and she always wraps her gifts with such flair and makes you feel good just looking at her gifts without even opening it. Coming across your blog has inspired me to make more of an effort to make the outside just as good as the inside or even better. I will endeavour to put you on my blog (not sure how to do it) I am very haphazard with my posting but I follow daily...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow what a gorgeous giveaway. I have been following your blog for sometime. I am a huge gift giver but I have never made a real effort with my wrapping. Your blog does inspire me to do better. My daughter in law Kathryn wraps her gifts with great thought and it makes it so much more special when someone has gone to that much trouble. The outside is as good as the inside. I will try and put a link on my blog if I can work it out. I am fairly slack with my blog but I follow my favourite blogs daily.. thank you for sharing your amazing gift and talent with us.

  35. Sande, Congratulations on your 100th post! I just started blogging last month, and I agree with you...It is special to share to share your feelings and to reach out to others and have them do the same for you! You were one of the first blogs I started following when I joined :) Wrapping presents for Christmas and Birthday's is something that my mother and I enjoy doing together...I can't wait to use some of your ideas from now on!

  60. What a pleasure to find you, your blog and your WONDERful site! My dearest friend and I both find such joy in creating beautiful presentions for our gifts. She even refused to open a gift from her mother once and finally convinced her to tell her what the gift was so she could replace it, as she wanted to enjoy the unopened gift forever. I am a delighted subscriber and new follower. Thank you for the spectacular gift presentation ideas - each one is sweet heartache! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! :)

  89. Wonderful giveaway! I was raised to take great pride in wrapping gifts and quite a few of my newlywed couple fights involved expensive wrapping paper I wanted to buy when the CVS stuff was "perfectly good." It was touch and go for a while there... Anyway - I'm a follower and love your work. Hope I win!

  115. Wow what beautiful presentation. Who wouldn't love to get a package wrapped so beautifully. What a clever girl.

    I'm adding you to my google reader list. Does that count as a subscriber?

  116. My passion. For years I have been criticized for putting such effort in gift presentation. And so here we are, finally someone who understands how important it is to put soul into giving. Delighted.

    Your new subscriber

  117. My mother and I have a saying..."it's all in the presentation." What's inside doesn't seem nearly as important as the wrappings. Love, love your blog. A new follower, but looking forward to reading on!
