Motivation Mondays - Package up a Pretty!

Monday, October 13, 2008

It's Thanksgiving Monday here in Canada, and festivities are winding down for me as I had a big family feast yesterday. With Thanksgiving winding down my mind starts to wander to the next Holiday of the year... Christmas!

In thinking of Christmas and Handmade goodies, I started wondering about gift wrapping and pretty packaging to make handmade gifts all that much more special and easy to give. I did some searching around Etsy and found a few shops who do something special with their packaging, some do it with every order, some by request.

Take a look, and hopefully you can find the inspiration and motivation to do something special for your Holiday Shoppers too!


1. vmdesigns creatively uses cupcake cups to create her "gift-ready" packaging!

2. tlgcrafts packs her magnet sets in a cute little paper sack, tied with a lovely ribbon.

3. veryvintage packs her cute mushroom necklace in the italian giftbox.

4. moanaorganics offers her items to be packaged in the 100% recycled gift box for a small added fee.

5. lannasjewelry will add this lovely ready to gift shimmering box with your purchase for a very minimal fee.

6. caughtredhanded ships out her pendants in these trendy tins! Great for gift giving, or reusing!

Those all look so pretty--and very non traditional. I like it.

thanks beth and brighton for commenting, I hope I got you thinking about your packaging!

tina- I use photoshop, but I have a bit of an unfair advantage, as I am a Web Designer by day :)
