I love the idea of brown paper wrapping and colored tape.  I'd like to use washi tape because they come in lots of yummy colors!

Great ideas, I love the fact that this year u have chosen something for everyone not just beauty related gifts :) Personally I love to get and give books especial a quality photography books as they can be a great source of inspirations. The idea of wrapping yours presents in simple brown paper is my favorite one!

I'm always lusting over the penguin books, they are so beautiful!

I think this has become one of my fav videos, just because it's so simple and full of lovely things :-)

Thank you for this. The stores early Christmas decorating had already turned off my love for Christmas. But you managed to bring it back to What it is actually all about; finding each and everyone you care about that special thing and wrap it up with love and care.

Everyone I have given the Q&A diaries to, have loved them!  They even have one for children.

There are a few classics that I hadn't read, like "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe".  The books were sitting in my bookshelf for as long as I can remember (I'm 40).  Then we lost power as a result of Superstorm Sandy.  I sat in bed, with the flashlight on, reading the books.  I think they're an incredible gift.  On the day of their birth, I gifted my niece, my nephews and my best friend's kids with a beginning library of 10 books each.

Another Gift-wrapping fanatic!? It's sooo therapeutic isn't it! I stand by the idea that it's the thought that counts and if you make the effort to present it beautifully (phun intended?!) it makes a world of difference! Beautiful video, so relaxing! x

[tikkigokikki]

This is actually a really good idea. It's quite refreshing to find a helpful present guide video!

I love doing presents like these- putting together a few lovely littler items that I know someone will love :)

Talk about helping you to sleep (previous video) ... It felt as though you were reading me a bedtime story. Beautiful. Thanks Ruth.
