confessions of a gift-giver...

i love gifts. but more than giving them, or receiving them for that matter, i love to wrap them. it is a well-known obsession of mine. i love the added sense of anticipation a nicely wrapped gift offers. my friends and family can usually recognize my work on a gift table from across the room. perhaps because my gifts never resemble anything from behind a department store counter. most of my ribbon is vintage or unique salvaged designer goods i collect from flea markets or downtown fabric shops. my paper is usually recycled or re-purposed. some consider the effort a waste of time. and it astounds me that to most, the act of gift-wrapping is considered a chore. for me, it is therapeutic. i am soothed by the ease in which colors, textures and muted tones take on another life with just a few quick ties. i see gift-wrapping as just another opportunity to find beauty in simplicity.

if you honor us by sending a gift from www.babysparewear.com, just say the word and your gift will receive complimentary gift-wrapping and a gift message. and be assured, no baby footprints in pastel colors will ever adorn your purchase. i will make sure of that. : ) and if you need further proof, i am the same woman who will forego purchasing paper towels for the household if the only ones left at the market are the ones with printed designs...
