BIRTHDAY WEEK TIP: Dazzle them with the wrap!
As promised, I'm sharing my best birthday ideas this week.
But, first, enter the BIG BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY by clicking on the cupcake:
Anyway, I come from a long line of gift wrappers -- my grandma, my mom, my aunt. All of these talented ladies taught me the power of a well-wrapped gift.
But sometimes killer wrapping is more than a frilly luxury -- it's critical. After all, the last thing a lame gift needs is lame wrapping.
Even if the gift is the opposite of lame, the wrapping can make it shine. Check out my birthday gift to the ever-amazing Rachel:
(Hot husband, Kara, Birthday Girl and Wendy -- fabulous and very missed D.C. bffs!) I presented Rachel with her very own "Man-catching Birthday Beauty Kit." Fun idea, yes. But more fun after I got creative with the gift labels:
The gift was actually pretty boring -- body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lip gloss, nail polish, a Coldstone Creamery gift card, but the "Man-catching" labels made it a lot more fun. And after all, that's what counts, right?What do you do to make your gifts extra special?

I've always loved wrapping gifts, though they aren't always spectacular looking like yours!!!
Is it awkward if I comment on how hot Chris looks in that picture?
You are the best. Thanks again for the GREAT gift. Still trying to find a guy worthy of sharing my coldstone with. :)
What an adorable gift! Well for my best friend's last birthday I got her exactly what she had pointed out to me the week before when we were shopping together...she was pretty happy!

I make gifts special by never giving them. That way, when I give them, they're really, really special.
Your presents are always darling! Cute picture, too, except that I look like a Mormon mom with flood pants. Can I make it known right now I was not wearing flood pants?
Presents are always made special with a little (or a lot) of specialty ribbon. MmmHmmm.
I'm so with you on the gift-wrapping. It is CRUCIAL. My hubby's fam is the opposite...they do NO bows and write their names with Sharpie on the paper. *gasp*
Did you see my gift-wrap bow on my blog? I only link to it b/c I know that you would truly appreciate it!
