It was what i was hoping. thank you, friend. now, i won't have to stress about not getting it back to the library in time, even after i've renewed it 3 times! but great tips about wrapping, girls! fyi, i loved the gift, and didn’t even think about the wrap job. i knew what it might be by the size and feel of the gift, and then i anticipated it the entire time opening it, and then, “YES!” It was what i was hoping. thank you, friend. now, i won’t have to stress about not getting it back to the library in time, even after i’ve renewed it 3 times! but great tips about wrapping, girls!

In a pinch, I've turned Christmas paper inside-out, so it's just white. I buy just colored paper (no pattern) and a spool of different colored ribbons.

I actually love ribbon more than wrapping paper. Anyway, good RS tip is to buy paper you can use year round and just change out the box! I love the idea, so Im on the hunt for my 2008 wrapping papers. Bags are also a safe wrapping idea. I got six for a buck at AC Moore on sale.

I always have the ugliest present at the party. Although gift bags help a lot. They're more expensive, though (which is why you shop for them at the Dollar Store in bulk! They have really cute stuff sometimes!). You would feel better if you had seen the birthday present I gave to my goddaughter last week. I promise. HA! I always have the ugliest present at the party.

(speaking of gifts, I still have your Christmas gift - for the record, it's not wrapped. :) ) I would just about always prefer to have people put as much thought into gifts as you do, and just forget about the wrapping/presentation.
