Interior Design Sense

I was wrapping Christmas presents today, and it dawned on me…I absolutely love wrapping paper and all the accessories that accompany the gift wrapping process.  I’m pretty picky about what I choose to wrap my gifts in, and no place has a better assortment of fun and unique wrapping goods than Paper Source.  I don’t believe that holiday presents have to be covered with Christmas trees, snow men and candy canes…plenty of room to get creative using the unexpected!  With innovative touches, your gift recipient is sure to appreciate the wrapping as much as the gift itself.  From start (scissors, tape) to finish (ribbon, gift bags, tissue paper), they’ve got you covered (pun intended).

Here are several start to finish combinations for wrapping presents.  Who knows, maybe gifts wrapped like this may end up under your tree! And remember, if you are “wrapping challenged” Paper Source does provide a wrapping service

Very Merry and Happy Holidays to all MG readers and their special ones…..

All items available at Paper Source.

They say pen is mightier than the sword and the same can be also said for the luxurious 24K Pencil. In this digital age of emails and Microsoft Word, hand-written notes, letters etc are a lost art which is unfortunate. However the discerning consumer will appreciate the fine craftsmanship of the 24K Pencil and will be encouraged to pen(or rather pencil) their meandering thoughts on paper with style and elegance. The surface pencil has been carefully plated with a thin layer of 99% pure gold and each pencil is individually packed to resemble bars of gold. So buy a bar or two from Design Boom as gifts as each pencil costs around just only $20.

If there is one good thing that can be said about this recession, it is that it is bringing out the creativity in people who are using their hands and their brains instead of their wallets to make or wrap their gifts this year.

London based design headhunter Represent challenged the design community “to develop fresh and eco-friendly solutions to the problem, by designing sustainable and totally tape-free ways to wrap a Christmas gift.” They are adding a new one every day, and they include lots of clever ideas that will come in handy this frugal holiday season. …
