Brilliant, and I'm loving all those teal ribbons wrapped round and round--so pretty. I'm doing this next time I give a gift card! <br /><br />Another take on the ribbon idea . . . I gave gift cards to all my nieces and nephews at Christmas, and to make them special, I punched a hole in one corner of the envelope and tied a ribbon through to make a hanger. Then I attached each ribbon hanger to a glittery ornament shaped like the first letter of each kid's name (found them cheap at Target). Finally, I hung them on the tree Christmas Eve, so each kid could search for his/her gift. It ended up being quite cute! xoxo GigiGigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-81796201212272876412012-01-12T10:52:36.392-05:002012-01-12T10:52:36.392-05:00You are definitely right!

From comments I made, I had him convinced it was a tie. He was a little disappointed and then when he opened it, was thrilled. But I was happier wrapping it up than just passing over a plain envelope.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026642983521186196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-66270338798989337012012-01-12T10:48:25.362-05:002012-01-12T10:48:25.362-05:00What a gorgeously simple and effective idea - than...What a gorgeously simple and effective idea - thanks for sharing!FairyFiligreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510679220884107437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-20390822652481699282012-01-12T10:19:37.522-05:002012-01-12T10:19:37.522-05:00I love the idea!

I always wonder how to make presents in envelopes look pretty. I don't know why I haven't thought of it !!!! Still, that's what everyone says when a great idea is born....I just wished that I had thought of the Harry Potter books before J.K. Rowling !!<br />Have a lovely weekend Sande.
