MM,
I’m on board with you in buying christmas stuff like the wrappers, ribbons and xmas cards on sale, they’re such a bargain! Believe it or not, i buy my christmas decor during our Boxing Day/Week Sale, that’s a day after christmas!ACtually just about everything goes on sale during Boxing Week, but like i said i buy my xmas decor which will be used the following year during our Boxing Week Madness! I find it that the first week of Boxing Week Sale, most xmas stuff goes for extra 50% off, but a week after that they bring it down up to 80% of the original price, so i tend to wait after a week or so! hehehhe

Wrappers unite! I think that people appreciate it when we take time to wrap our presents nicely. It says much about how we care about them. When I was single, I used to be just like all of you, complete with theme and originality and my friends used to look forward to my gifts. But now I am a harried wife, mother and employee. Maybe when I retire…

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, y’all!!!!

Lei, actually, it was the Crane’s store in Rockwell last year. I think they made a mistake frankly, or just overbought and had too much stock…I bought almost everything they had… I also do buy wrapper in Italy as well, but those tend to be much pricier and I only go there every few years…

MM, if I may ask, where did that of sale of Italian paper happen? Just in case I happen to pass that place. Thanks!

I LOVE wrapping up presents. I don’t have too many people to give, so every year I like having a theme. This year, it was kistchy Pinoy. I used banig bags or boxes tied with raffia. My gift tags were old postcards of the Bayanihan dancers in full costume or scenic views. My relatives loved comparing which postcard I’d picked out for them.

Last year, I used Christmas balls and bells as gift tags. No one knew to look on the ball itself to look for their names. Oh well.

One of my weaknesses when travelling is checking papers wrapping papers… think you are not the only one MM.. I collect bows, ribbons, papers… When I was in London few weeks ago for a business trip I made sure I stopped at my favourite store to stock up things.
