Enjoying The Break

Jessica and I both have the rest of the week off from work. We have tons of things we want to accomplish this during our Thanksgiving vacation including plenty of cooking and baking, spending time with family, decorating our tree, addressing Christmas cards, and beginning to conquer our huge shopping lists for the holidays.

It's the thought that counts

I am a true believer in the old saying that it's the thought that counts. Admittedly, receiving huge, expensive gifts is definitely nice, but I can be just as pleased when I receive a small well thought out gift. I am not a fan of the one gift fits all. I am sure you know what I am talking about. It is like when your Aunt Eloise buys every female in your family the same matching scarf and mittens for Christmas. Equally as bad is the generic, repeat gift. For example, your cousin, has gotten you a Yankee Candle for your birthday for the fourth year in a roll. Nothing puts an extra special touch and allows the person receiving the gift to know that thought and love went into the gift like it being beautifully wrapped. I love rustic, homemade feeling touches to the wrapping. I saw in a video that in "The Manor" which was Aaron Spellings home that his wife Candy had not one but numerous rooms in the home dedicated solely to gift wrapping. Gift wrapping can get very creative and miscellaneous items from your home can be used to make the gifts beautiful. I love the use of flowers on this package. I also love the idea of recycling paper product to wrap gifts, such as paper bags, old newspapers, and maps. I had to include this picture because of my love for all things Chanel. I would love to see a box like this in a few months under my Christmas tree waiting for me.
