Unwrapped: A Brief History and Technique Demonstration in Gift Wrapping

When did we begin wrapping gifts in anything other than brown paper and string? For that matter, just when did we begin to wrap gifts at all? Find out in this dynamic presentation which covers the history of an industry with a noble past which brings joy to billions today. Within the presentation, Vivian covers the span of progress in gift wrapping from the earliest historical beginnings to how Hallmark literally stumbled upon the birth of an industry. Examples of packaging across the timeline is included along with a brief demonstration of traditional wrapping techniques including Furoshiki, the eco-friendly Japanese gift wrapping method using cloth.

 

Eco-Wrap: Environment Friendly Options for Gift Giving

There are many options available today in environment friendly traditional wrapping papers but in this presentation we explore options for reusing some everyday items to create inventive gift wrapping. This presentation also features the Japanese method of gift wrapping known as Furoshiki. Furoshiki makes use of cloth that can be reused again and again to create beautifully wrapped gifts.

 

Gift Giving Around the World - A Cultural Tour of Customs
