Thinking outside the gift box again….

My beloved hairdresser has been doing my hair for about 25 years or so now. Well, except for the two years she moved to Oman and the two years I moved to Sarasota…. Other than those bad-hair years, I always bring her a bottle of her favorite wine for both her birthday and Christmas. Not much thinking outside the gift box there, eh?
This year I decided to dress the bottle up more than a nice big ribbon or a fancy bag. I printed out a label made from my latest pattern collection ~ Libby ~ and wrapped it around the bottle as well as the neck, securing them with double-sided tape. Then I finished it off with some twisted wire & coordinating beads. Much fancier than a bow, don’t you think?

BJ, I love the wine bottle wrapped with your patterns. Its a wonderful idea and I’m going to borrow it. I’m taking a bottle to a girlfriend this weekend and am going to do the same. Looks much, much better than a bagged bottle.

Even makes a bottle of 3 Buck Chuck look fabulous!
