I have a good friend who does amazing gift wrapping, and your blog reminded me of her.<br /><br />The English Organizer, I bet you could fit other things (a nice bottle of olive oil, etc.) in those sweater sleeves.<br /><br />And Claire, I also forgot to mention another benefit of these simpler wrappings: If you are traveling with presents, it's easy to pack these along and "wrap" at your destination. It avoids having the security folks possibly making you open a painstakingly-wrapped gift for inspection.Jeri Danskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647833266269245240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-55939005151685191342010-12-10T14:01:04.333-08:002010-12-10T14:01:04.333-08:00Totally in love with the sweater wine sleeves.

You can use a pretty scarf or napkin or handkerchief or... anything they might use and enjoy.<br /><br />From an environmentalist re-use perspective (perhaps less simple, depending upon your bent), you can also have fun using the Sunday Funnies or calendar pages as wrapping paper.Claire Josefinehttp://www.ClaireJosefine.comnoreply@blogger.com
