three steps to joy with presents

Who ever said that the only thing that matters is the end result certainly was not talking about the art of giving presents. I think that the packaging and the joy of opening probably counts as much as the gift and here’s my latest delight that I wanted to share – the Shanghai Tang bangle.

I thought the wrapping paper itself was so beautiful that one could have a art like this framed on the wall – the colours are just so delightful and so made for a happy room in the summertime. Then the box itself – that fabulous lime green tone, which seems to appear here and there in summer accessories this year (and also in Ikea store walls along with black, orange and purple).

And then, finally, comes the gift itself. I love orange in accessories and handbags (especially Hermes when I can afford it). Oh the joy of colours and beautifully wrapped presents!

Step 1 – the delightful wrapping

Step 2 – a cute box that’s a keeper in itself

Step 3 – the actual present – no matter what it is, it will be a joy to receive it nicely wrapped up
