Do You Have A Gift For Gift Wrapping? (NAPSA)—Winter holidays are not the only times when gift-wrapping is overwhelming. With Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations and weddings, spring offers an overwhelming numberof occasions for gift-wrapping presents. Most people see gift-wrapping as drudgery andoften putoff the task until the last minute— like in the car on the way toa wedding reception. Here are some suggestions to help make gift-wrapping easier, prettier and less taxing: Keep a stash of all-occasion wrapping paper and supplies on hand to save time and money instead of buying paper every time an event arrives. In addition to wrapping paper, such items to have onhand include various sized boxes, gift bags, ribbon, scissors andtape. * Use tissue paper to wrap gifts. It’s simple to use and less expensive than traditional wrapping paper. White, colored or patterned tissue dresses up a gift and enhances the element of surprise. Stop misplacing your tape and make taping hassle-free by using the Duck brand MultiMount” Tape Dispenser that will, through its special MicroSuction” technology, attach to any smooth surface and doesn’t leave behind sticky residue. Or, try Duck brand OneTouch Tape designed for convenient onehanded use. It’s the thought that counts but beautiful wrapping can make a gift seem even more thoughtful. Stretch your dollar by using leftover wrapping paper to make a bow by folding over strips of wrapping paper and taping them to the package. Or, make your own gift cards out of wrapping paper scraps. Be sure to reuse any wrapping paper and ribbons; it makes sense both economically and environmentally. Another way to save money is to buy seasonal wrapping paper when it is on sale. For example, you can buy holiday or graduation paper at end-of-season sales and save it for the following year’s occasions. Following these simple steps can help reduce the stress of wrapping a gift and save money. And, most importantly, gift recipients will be pleased to receive such a lovely wrappedgift.
