Can I get my item(s) gift wrapped?

Absolutely! The most important thing for you to know is that in the cart there is a notes field you can use to tell us what your wrapping needs are. You also have the option of selecting a specific paper(s) by going to our Free Gift Wrapping page and adding it to your cart. Note that bows & ribbons are not exclusive to a certain paper, and can be mixed & matched.

Here are a few examples to illustrate how you can tell us what you need: 

  - You have one item in your cart that is for your daughter’s birthday, and you don’t mind if we choose the  paper. Just use the notes field to tell us the occasion and we will choose the paper, ribbon, and bow.

  - You have one item in your cart that is for your daughter’s birthday, but you want a specific paper. Visit the Free Gift Wrapping page and add the choice of paper to your cart. You may add notes if you wish to specify the color of the ribbon and bow.

- You have two items in your cart, one for your daughter’s birthday, one for your nephew’s graduation, and you want both of them wrapped. If you don’t mind us choosing the papers, just use the notes field to tell us which items are for which occasion, and we will wrap accordingly. If you want to choose the papers, visit the Free Gift Wrapping page, add your paper choices to your cart, and use the space to tell us which paper is for which item.
