Product Description
Product Description
With her brilliant sense of style, designer and bestselling author Carolyne Roehm makes the case in Presentations that there’s just as much pleasure in wrapping gifts as in receiving them—and that beautiful packages guarantee memorable celebrations.
For everyone who loved At Home with Carolyne Roehm, one of America’s premier style-setters now offers her ideas for creating breathtaking gift wrappings using readily available paper, tags, rubber stamps, ribbons, artificial flowers, and other inexpensive materials. Arranged seasonally, and taking inspiration from Roehm’s love of nature, travel and collecting, and fine art, the book focuses on holidays as well as on ways to make children’s gifts look unique and adorable. As Roehm shows, with creativity and care any present can be made an exquisite offering.
More than two hundred dazzling photographs provide inspiration, and a clear and detailed how-to section gives readers the step-by-step tools they need to create beautiful gifts. And for those who would like to create stunning packages but have little time, the book also offers wonderfully distinctive—yet simple—gift-bagging ideas. To coordinate with these eye-popping wrappings, there are the author’s original theme-party ideas and distinctive table settings.
With Carolyne Roehm’s advice, anyone can elevate a special occasion to the realm of the unforgettable.

Format:Hardcover
This book looks impressive, but I was very disappointed when it arrived. It is full of pretty picture of wrapped gifts and accessories, but only had 6 - 7 pages of instruction on how to actually wrap a present. And the instruction is for a square box - there are no instruction/ guidance on how to wrap complex shapes. At £13 I do not think it offers good value for money, other books are available that offer the same advice but cost a quarter of the price

Format:Hardcover
Upon opening this book I found that it was really just a showcase of the author's gift wrapped creations. Very pretty but not informative. I was hoping for something more instructive than just something to look at. The book was full of beautiful photographs, which gave good ideas for wrapping gifts but was not what I was looking for. I returned the book to the seller for these reasons. I paid £18.25, which was expensive but I had hoped it'd be worth it. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment.
