2018 Bohemia Starbucks Gift re-Wrap
It's not easy to wrap presents at 1:00 in the morning after the hard working "Bohemian" baristas were decorating into the wee hours.  So as I frequented this Starbucks each morning, I could not help but offer a rewrap on the gifts under the tree. Smile

Brittany's Clutch
Instead of giving Brittany just a card (wih a giftcard in it) why not wrap the envelope as well??  This elegant wrap matched the girl who received it.

2016 Gift wrapping with Newsday and News12
PRESENTATION is a key element
in all of Only You Gifts' custom invitations as well as engraved products. 
So why wouldn't' the gift wrapping be as important?
Oh but it is!

For over 18 years, Melinda Cantor, owner of Only You has made it her goal to
guarantee that each and every gift leaves the store looking stunning!
She spares no expense in offering luxurious ribbons and decadent papers
to make her customers look good every time they give a gift from her store.

Below are some ideas on how to wrap certain items in creative ways.


Wrapping multiple items can seem like a lot of work
but if you do everything in stages,
they will all look crisp and uniform.
First figure out how you want the item to look,
 then work backwards
and cut all your materials.
Wrap, stack and tie the ribbons...one step at a time is the key.

Don't you hate when the roll is too short?!
Well no worries.. here is a few easy steps to fix that problem.
Wrap the box the best you can.
Then lay a sheet of paper over the end that is open.
Then start folding the edges under 
so you create a panel edge to edge
that fits on the whole side. 
 Add double stick tape under the panel you created
and now no one knows your roll was too short.
