The Giveaway Gift Wrap

Since this was the Charlotte Moss Giveaway product choice for one of the three readers who won, I wanted to present it in a box and this larger one just happened to fit. I also wanted to use the gorgeous paper roses that I keep on hand from Noel at Fanciful Designs. Two of them in fact, one big confection of pale pink pretty. I have wrapped this website product in the past by following the round shape but think I might consider offering it in this damask pattern box from now on to give it more presentation. What I would really like is a gift wrap paper in that stunning pink marble paper that lines the inside lids of this gorgeous product. That would be perfection.

I have this same striped taffeta ribbon in black and white as well, but surprisingly the more subdued charcoal and ivory version seemed to look more elegant. Every time I gift wrap this product I do it a different way which just means I am still experimenting. It could also mean I won't be satisfied until I find or design a blush pink marble gift wrap paper.

I wanted to try photographing this product on a velvet fabric that just happened to be the exact colour of the diffuser oil. I have yards and yards of assorted fabric left from my designer days that I will now start using for backdrops. Good thing I kept all of it after all. It's amazing what you find when you do a good clean up.

  2. I was first attracted by the shape and color of the flacon on the pictures - what a wonderful shape ! And yes, you are so very right - one can never have too many fabrics or xxx ( put whatever YOUR favorite stash items is... beads, pearls, threads, ribbons etc.)
    I love what you do with paper and ribbons to "disguise" the content. kind regards, Martina

  14. You just gave me a great idea. A close family member has asked me to help renovate a pink tiled bathroom. They want to leave the tiles...a black and white wallpaper like that box may just be the needed touch! You never know where inspiration may strike...it just struck here!
    so, thanks!
