Wrapping gifts in brown paper

RealButter

I use brown paper for wrapping all my presents, Christmas and birthdays etc. Just tie it with ribbon (and close family I ask for the ribbon back too lol :money: They don't seem to mind)

I wrapped some soaps (recycled ends made into bars) in brown paper and tied with gold ribbon. The contrast of the thick brown paper and the delicate ribbon looked surprisingly professional.

:eek: Sorry if I'm being rude but I would hate to get that as a gift. The thought of washing myself with someones elses soap leftovers makes me shudder.

I didn't actually give them as gifts but wrapped them and put them in my drawers (!) to fragrance them.
