As you turn the pages, it's easy to see why this author was crowned Most-Gifted Wrapper of 2002.

The book begins with an introduction of paper, ribbon and supplies that turn ordinary boxes into masterpieces. Then the fun begins.

Each photo depicts a step-by-step details on how to cut, fold, trim, and secure the wrap, ribbon, and embellishments.

I was intrigued by the simple tube, which morphs into a striped sensation, and all of the pleated paper techniques. You'll also see several bowmaking styles and gift tag options, both which adorn the gift with a classy touch.

The holiday and special occasion wrapping sections send you into overload, but that's a plus. This book is worth the cost and more. The best part is that you'll never again be at a loss for wrapping ideas for everyone on your gift list.
