Pretty Parcels ..............a Giveaway from Besotted


If you read my last post you know how besotted I am with the gorgeous paper and stamp website Besotted Brand. The owner Miss B and I got to email chatting and she is as wonderful as her product. She has graciously offered a most wonderful stationery giveaway to the international readers of A Gift Wrapped Life............her most popular stationery ensemble Pretty Parcels with an extra something special added in just for the holidays. Along with the calligraphy Hello stamp, I asked Miss B if we could include the Fig stamp so you can use it to stamp your holiday ribbon as shown below, won't that make for a fabulous holiday gift presentation? Pretty Parcel indeed, the Besotted hinged box is filled with a lovely array of Besotted products that will enhance your correspondence. I am excited that one of my readers will win this most fabulous giveaway as I just adore this website. The best news of all............it is open to international readers. Yes, anywhere in the world. Isn't this the most divine giveaway?

The holiday "extra". 


Along with using the Fig rubber stamp on plain ribbon as shown above for holiday gifting, you can also use it to hand stamp paper napkins for holiday entertaining as a reader suggested...............what a sweet giveaway. 


Good luck!

    I do follow your blog and I love that you always have such elegant presentations for everything.

    I took a look at the Besotted site as I had only just posted myself about rubber stamping cookies. I thought I would peek to see if they had a Christmas stamp I could add as an addendum to my own post.

    If I am lucky enough to win this gift I will be offering it to my own readers as a give-a-way to spread the word. Its a really lovely on line shop and I especially love the stamped ribbon "Hand made". It would be great to tie around gifts at Christmas.
