  6. The colourful wrapping and the ribbons increase the curiosity and surprise that lay within. There is not person in the world who doesn't like to receive these packaged surprises.Lovely haiku.

    1. Carol, I simply wing it. I took a few years of gift wrapping in 4H growing up and usually got a blue ribbon so I can't be too shabby. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your comments. So pleased you enjoyed it. ♥

    1. Corinne, this year all my presents were in gift bags that I quickly bagged up myself. HA HA HA I guess that is how it goes when you are the one who orchestrates all the parties in the house. I got exactly what I wanted so it was a WIN WIN for me! Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

  19. I love beautifully-wrapped presents! (Sadly, we can't use ribbons because the cats insist on chewing the ribbon and then they get sick...)
