Pink Wrapped
People, it’s almost Election Day! Can you believe it? According to most polls, it’s still too close to call. How is that even possible? I won’t divulge my allegiances here but geez, I hope you can make a pretty good guess. For this post, I’m gonna dodge politics altogether in favor of featuring a gift I recently bought for my dearest friend. (Bear with me—it ties in at the end.)
You see, I’ve been obsessed with bright pink lately. No, I’m not taking a cue from the First Lady and the Wannabe who both wore fuchsia to the second presidential debate. As I laid out my case last year, the color just makes me happy. So I figured, what better color to wrap a present for a birthday party?
The gift box from Anthropologie.
Lots of pink tissue paper concealing the contents.
Unfurling the paper reveals a hint.
Ta-da! A small bowl made in Japan, perfect for ice cream, nuts, etc. I included a set of four.
A ribbon runs through it: a matching card and scented candle.
All set to party! Gift wrap from Paper Source.
Proper topper: some decorative Japanese tape and a flower attached with a dollop of clear glue.
Color-coordinated pair.
My friend loved the pink-themed presentation, which I believe gives my previous winning effort a run for its money:
Pretty pleased with my hostess gift for a garden party earlier this summer.
Which one is better? It’s really too close to call.
