When you see scented sachets on sale, grab them. Not only do they make for stylish embellishments when it comes to gift wrapping those special gifts, your gift will smell really, really good. In this case, someone stylish who is turning 50 and just happens to love shoes so this Pucci pattern and whimsical shoe shape fits the gifting occasion. I told the customer I would wrap it one way then went totally off into another direction, good thing she gave me some creative leeway. It's always best to give me some, I do a better job.
Adding a matching sachet of another shape to the top of this 2-tiered gift just adds to the glamour and fun. I liked the black & white striped taffeta ribbon with the Pucci print. It was making me feel kind of groovy while wrapping this celebratory gift. I am guessing the birthday girl will be feeling a groovy kind of love as well.
When it comes to celebrating a 50th Birthday, the more ribbon the better don't you think? Trust me on this, when wrapping a 40th or 50th birthday gift go as special as you can in technique and effort. It just makes the milestone event that much more fun.
Two hot pink gift boxes were wrapped in Kelly Green paper. I took this photo quickly with my iphone (should Apple send me an endorsement contract or what?) so the colours aren't exact (my fault) but my hot pink Opera ribbon just adds a bit more glitz. Get ready ladies, lots of gift wrapping ahead. I will tell you all about what's ahead in the upcoming week.

Lovely as always, Sande! I would love to get a present wrapped by you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Groovy, indeed, Sande. And I love the idea of using a sachet. I love when a gift smells good. Last week I bought a little Angela Adams purse for my sister-in-law's birthday, and inside it I slipped a beautiful little tissue-wrapped bar of handmade lavender soap so that it will smell amazing when she opens it. I can't wait to give it to her.

HI Sande, un capolavoro! What a masterpiece.. So beautiful, I agree with you, the moer ribbons the better. Carla
ReplyDeleteso beautiful, Sande -- what a refreshing and energizing palette! I just love it, but know I would have to wait a long, long time before opening it -- who would want to untie and undo all you have done -- no, I would place it on a table and enjoy it. Love your work, always...
