Comments on: Gift packaging – important and appreciated, or plain wasteful? https://www.boo-creations.co.uk/blog/gift-packaging-important-and-appreciated-or-plain-wasteful/ This blog is about the many things of interest to me - from photography, jewellery making, my garden, walking, the natural world and the English Lake District.

I use the envelopes for most of my orders going out and perhaps could do with a making session soon myself.

After having the tutorial sitting on my computer for quite some time… I needed some small packaging for a ring topper that was going to the US, I had some white heavyweight paper and fancy ribbon, and it came out looking rather lovely.

Thanks, Boo :)

I have Moo cards too, but I’ve done my own recently because I have materials on hand and like varying them with what’s current. My labels are from Able-Labels, but there are a lot of artisan makers on Etsy etc. for something a bit more stylish.

The one I sell is for folded gift boxes.

@ BBB – thanks, the boxes have been smashing, they’re just perfect for the things I send out and once taped closed, very rigid and robust.

I love to receive a beautifully wrapped package. Additionally i have to say I really really like the boxes you used. I was pleasantly suprised by just how much they can contain and that they also protect the contents.

It makes me a) want to buy some of your jewellery and b) package my own stuff better and c) buy your tutorial. I’ll be along later in the week to do that. many thanks.
