The Soul of Gift Wrapping:
Creative Techniques for Expressing Gratitude, Inspired by the Japanese Art of Giving
With a combination of inventive wrapping designs, inspiring personal essays, and step-by-step techniques, The Soul of Gift Wrapping invites readers to transform the act of wrapping into a gratitude practice.
Drawing on the gift-giving traditions of her Japanese heritage, Megumi explores how the act of gifting a thoughtfully wrapped gift can be a creative, caring act for both the giver and the receiver. Using natural, recycled and repurposed materials, she encourages wrapping in a way that nurtures our lives and others, sustaining our collective well being and our environment.
Detailed step-by-step photos teach an artful approach to every aspect of wrapping—including tape-free folding, paper and fabric bows, clever message tags, and ideas for odd-shaped items- guiding readers to create one of a kind gift presentations reflective of one’s own unique, creative expression of gratitude.
