149 Quick & Easy Enchanting Gift Wrapping Supplies Set - Perfect for Christmas, Birthdays & Special Occasions

I love gift-wrapping - weird, but true. So I am happy to have found this resource. This book is paperback and only 82 pages, but it packs in 149 original and interesting gift-wrapping ideas. The author is Japanese, and the book appears to have been published in Japan, so many of the resources listed in the back for supplies are not terribly helpful. I also noted that there were a very few translating mistakes in the written part. They do not detract from the usefulness of the book. The instructions are clearly written and illustrated well, making them easy to follow. The author has suggestions for wrapping round, triangular, and oddly-shaped items, as well as suggestions for using parts of the gift to form the presentation. For instance, she gives suggestions on wrapping or tying up a package with a scarf or using a ladle as a basket for another item. She also discusses many unusual ways to wrap a more typical square or rectangular box, as well as making a gift box or gift bag. If you are interested in novel presentations for your gifts, would like to know how to wrap just about anything, or just enjoy creating a beautiful package, this is a highly recommended book.
