2) Give yourself a gold star in decorating! A pack of 150 stars (from Warehouse Stationery, $5.45) will make presents stand out. Tie up with classic string and you’re all set.
3) Twist a sprig of rosemary from your garden to form a mini wreath. Secure the ends with twine and you have a gorgeous looking (and smelling) parcel for your loved one.
4) Add a personal touch with hand-stamped messages (Christmas stamps and coloured inkpads from stampinup.co.nz). Finish with a decorative doily (pack of 25 from Typo, $7.95) and a festive mini candy cane.
