3.0 out of 5 stars
Too primitive,
By Jelena V.P. (Maryland, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Gift Wrapping Book (Paperback)
I was quite disappointed with this book. Included patterns and templates were, well, great if you are in a 5th grade. Some designs were simply tasteless (wrapping a gift in a bubble-wrap - oh please!). I was also expecting to see more techniques for making bows and gift accessories, but there were mostly instructions on how to make boxes and some hideous fabric bags. And does anyone really need 10 introductory pages and 2 pages about the types of ribbons in a 100-page book?
Don't expect to impress anyone except your Mom and Grandma, who will like almost anything you do anyway.

I'm actually looking forward to next Christmas!,
By Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Gift Wrapping Book (Paperback)
This book has some of the best gift wrapping tips and ideas I've ever seen.This Christmas, I was getting bored wrapping gifts the same old way, so I began surfing for some ideas to spice it up a little. This book did not disappoint. It has ideas for all skill levels, and uses materials that are widely available. It also has great wrapping ideas for gifts with unusual shapes and sizes. It comes complete with simple instructions, step by step photographs and diagrams, and even has all the templates you need to get started. From now on, all gifts will be spectacular, inside and out.

Good templates, but thin book for the price,
This review is from: Gift Wrapping Book (Hardcover)
This book has clear instructions and decent templates, but relies too much on rather expensive metallic papers/plastics and bubble wrap that you can't recycle.
Gift wrapping doesn't have to break the bank, or be more expensive than the gift itself. Borrow from your library first, before buying.

A wonderful, wonderful book. We want to make chocolate boxes and they must be inexpensive, quick and easy to make. This book is perfect - clear instructions, lots of templates. We love it.
