12 days of Christmas: #2 (Gift wrappings)

I've got an early Christmas gift for you... But first let's see these pretty and sometimes original ways to wrap your gifts! Because there's nothing prettier and more enticing than a beautifully packaged gift! How about you? Do you like to take care to make your gifts as pretty as a work of art? What's your favorite way to wrap gifts?

And now the moment of truth, but first this: as pretty as all these gift wrappingss are, the truth is, just like you can't judge a book by its cover, you also cannot judge a gift by its wrapping! And here's a little video that beautifully illustrates this point and reveals my early Christmas gift to you!
