Beyond the world of Interior Design and Fashion, is my love (crazy love) for beautiful gift wrap and ribbon. I don’t know when it all started, but sometime during my teen years, I developed this passion for wrapping gifts in pretty paper and tying the box with a nice cotton ribbon. Over the years, as more and more gorgeous papers and ribbons have become available, I have labeled myself a true paper and ribbon fanatic! It’s official, I am addicted.
Since I am always on the hunt for beautiful wrapping, elegant ribbons and creative ways to wrap a gift, I was thrilled when I stumbled across the website A Gift Wrapped Life. Sande Chase began the company after spending 20 years in the interior design business. Her love for “the art of gifting” led her to develop this business, which not only offers the materials for creating beautifully wrapped gifts, but also provides how-to instructions for creatively wrapping your gifts. The papers and ribbon she sells are “decidedly feminine, uniquely special and over-the-top luxurious!”

Many of the gift wrap packages offered at A Gift Wrapped Life include some type of embellishment to make you gift presentation even more special. I just love these little birds and how they work so well with the French Birds Nest paper.
So feminine and pretty!
All of the gift packages include multiple rolls of wrapping paper and the ribbon needed to create beautifully wrapped presents! I guarantee that you will spend endless hours coming up with unique paper and ribbon combinations.
In addition to the wrapping materials, A Gift Wrapped Life also sells a wonderful selection of gift items.
Isn’t this Paris Salon paper too cute for words!
Just when I though it couldn’t get any better, Sande has created her own blog , filled to loads of inspiring and creative gift wrapping ideas, interior design inspiration and great stories about her life and family. Sande, thanks for fueling my passion!
And, for those of you who like to make the most of your obsessions, below are two of my favorite books on gift wrapping and ribbons.
If you have any unique gift wrapping ideas or sources for paper, I’d love to hear about it.
