Weekly Wrap #138 : Bobalong Gift Wrap + Tags

November 30, 2012 // kristen // 1 replies

I am totally digging these lovely, modern (and eco-friendly!) holiday wrapping papers and letterpress gift tags from Bobalong Press. The pretty papers are available in two patterns: Baubles (ruby red and white) and Thruppence (vintage copper and white). Combine their modern gift wrap designs with Bobalong’s coordinating, retro-inspired gift tags for packages that are chic, sleek, and undeniably eye-catching.
