InStyle Magazine conducted a survey asking its readers about their shopping confessions. I thought I would share a bit of their findings to get you into the shopping mood....


                                                   

          Which would you prefer: GIVING or RECEIVING?

70% Giving

I am not surprised that giving won over receiving...which goes to show there is hope for mankind. But seriously, don't you just love giving someone a gift and they light up like the sun? It's one of the best feelings in the world. If you haven't tried it, you totally should--become a part of the 70%!

Gift Wrap Rules!

or Does it?

76% I adore getting something nicely presented

24% I can take it or leave it. It's what's inside that counts!

So glad that the consensus is that gift wrap matters. This is actually one of my top five gift tips--don't stop with the gift. You must pay attention to the gift wrap, boxes and bags too. The packaging should accentuate the gift and be "on theme."

So when it's time to wrap your gifts this season don't forget wrapping paper is your opportunity to make a first impression to your giftee.
