Coconut Milk Can | Gift Wrap Everywhere
Gift Wrap Everywhere highlights items I've run across in daily life that are perfect for unconventional gift wrapping. Seriously, gift wrap is everywhere!

Add gauzy tissue to make an unconventional gift 'box'...
or finish it off with a ribbon to add a bit of polish to this otherwise quirky gift wrapping!
Don't cook with coconut milk? Try a nod to Andy Warhol with a classic red-and-white Campbell's soup can. Feeling impish? Take the bottom off the can and fill it from the underside!

what a fun idea Charissa! I like the Campbell soup angle too... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Michele - Thank you! With your stash of recyclables I'm sure you could come up with an interesting twist on tin-can gift wrapping. Maybe a stack of cans, each with a little something inside?
DeleteThis is such a cool and original idea! Thank you so much for sharing it. :0D
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it! I had one of those, "Is this too weird?" moments before I wrote it.
