Birthdays crave the excuse to pop the champagne and celebrate. I love the idea of creating a customized card. Inspiration is never hard to come by! Quirky personalities, hobbies, and a milestone year are the perfect recipes for witty lines or unexpected delight visualized by a wash of color.
In the hustle of today’s busy schedule, the art of present wrapping seems nearly to have been lost. A beautifully packaged gift not only demonstrates you’ve taken the time to create something special, but it also begs to be unwrapped!
Detail is King. Ribbon makes all the difference. Even the plainest of papers become elegant, electric, or country-chic when dressed with a gross-grain, plaid, picot or dupioni silk tie. The accent of something natural sparks a multi-sensorial flair. It immediately makes the gift that much more tactile and impressive. A fresh sprig of greenery, a cluster of wheat sheaths, a twig of barriers, or dainty flower dimensionalizes the package – almost haloing it with a glow!
Even a small box wrapped with black & white polka dot paper plus an ivory & ebony plaid bow evokes simple sophistication with the inclusion of a white daisy with yellow center.
Carolyne Roehm is the queen of exquisite gift-wrapping, and surprises her readers with unexpected combinations of materials. When packaged together, they are a work of art!

In Cincinnati, we have no shortage of unique ribbons thanks to Margot Madison Creative Stationery on Madison Road in O'Bryonville. Margot’s fantastic taste in style and variety of ribbon will set your packages apart from the crowd the next time you wrap a gift. She also offers an incredible range of cards and stationery available as custom designs as well. Be sure to visit Margot Madison this holiday season. You’ll be surprised how much you now enjoy the wrapping as much as the giving!
