Father's Day Gift Wrap Tie

I spotted this clever, Father’s Day-themed truffle packaging over on Flickr and think it’s fantastic inspiration for other Father’s Day or man-centric gift wrap. The idea is a simple one — take a piece of ribbon and wrap it around the package like a necktie, cutting the bottom to a point to complete the effect — but the simplicity of it is what makes it such a cool idea.

This idea could easily be scaled up using wider ribbon and a larger box, like a shirt box. On the right size box, you could even use a real necktie, having it do double-duty as the “bow” and as part of the gift, with a coordinating shirt in the box to complete the gift.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and a Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there!

Gilah Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Gilah Letterpress Wedding Invitations

I was completely aswoon over the new letterpress invitations in the Gilah Press Wedding Album at the National Stationery Show last month (above are the two designs that I mentioned during my NSS roundups), and I’m jazzed to be able to show you more from the new collection. From stitched embellishments and gorgeous modern pattern and type to beautiful palettes featuring colors with names like avocado, butter, silk, carrot, sangria, bubble, and flax, the new Gilah invites are a feast for the eyes!

In addition, all of the main papers used in the invitations are tree-free and either 100% cotton or a cotton bamboo mix. The colored papers and envelopes are 30-100% post consumer waste. The new collection will be available later this month at the following shops:

Gus & Ruby: Portsmouth, NH
Epitome Papers: Edina, MN
Urbanic Paper Boutique: Venice, CA
Lion in the Sun: Brooklyn, NY
The Pleasure of Your Company: Baltimore, MD
Printemps: Westport, CT
Smudge Designs: Toronto, ON
