pretty packages

Who doesn't appreciate beautiful packaging? There's something incredibly satisfying about receiving a well-packaged product or gift. My mom is the queen of perfect presentation. She swears by 2-sided tape (although I think she would approve of washi) and she always folds under wrapping paper - no edges need apply. Ribbons, handmade cards and thoughtful wrapping papers always accompany her gifts. Mom spent Mothers Day weekend with us, so in honor of Diane's knack for pretty presentation, we're taking a look at packaging all week. Here are a few of my faves to whet your whistle.

If you're interested in more, there are several websites devoted to packaging. I'm obsessed with Hovard Design of Brooklyn, Lovely Package and the Dieline. The first five people to post a comment including a link to an example of pretty packaging get a FREE gF occasion card (prettily packaged, I promise!).
