From the Publisher
Wrapping gifts is not just a holiday affair. Bringing a bottle of wine tied up with cloth or a potted plant carefully wrapped and tied with a bow can make an ordinary hostess gift extraordinary. Yoshiko Hase is a leading expert on gift-wrapping and ribbon art in Japan, and in her new book, The Book of Gift-Wrapping, she presents her most creative solutions for packages of all sizes.
The Book of Gift Wrapping features step-by-step instructions through photos of how to wrap various shapes and sizes of gifts including bottles, pot plants, fruit, and even umbrellas. It illustrates everything, from paper selection to the best finishing touches. "First, wrap the box precisely, adjusting the size and the shape. Finish with a ribbon with tender touch, and you can imagine the delight of the recipient."
About the Author

Her works are created while thinking of the happiness of the receiver and are praised by many readers as being easy to follow and lovely to look at.

This review is from: Quick and Easy Enchanting Gifts Wrapping 149 Items (Paperback)
Filled with step by step photos. Most useful were: how to wrap a melon, polygon and triangle, how to make 7+ different kinds of bows from ribbon and how to wrap a wine bottle. The last tip is especially useful since I never liked the look of those wine bottle gift bags.
With this book, I will not be afraid of buying nice but oddly shaped gifts. Overall it's a compact technical primer but dont expect anything innovative or overly artsy.
