Hello! I’m so excited that you found my site and hope you discover the inspiration you are looking for. If you’re interested in what motivated me to start That’s Wrapped, below is a little bit about my journey.
My love for creativity started when I was six years old and I received my first “art box” for Christmas (thank you Aunt Throena!). It was filled with what seemed like an endless supply of construction paper, crayons, markers, glue sticks, tape and stickers galore! Ever since then, I have loved creating, coloring, painting, bedazzling, crafting, sewing and crocheting (thank you also Mam-Maw!). And now that I have two kids of my own, I have been blessed with the opportunity to pass this amazing gift of creativity and imagination to my girls. It’s one of the primary ways we spend quality time together and fortunately for me, they love it too!
Gifting has always been another creative outlet for me. I love the hunt for the perfect gift and then wrapping it with the same level of thoughtfulness that I put into picking it out. But over the years, I started to become more aware of how harmful to the environment gift wrapping can be – from ribbon and bows made of plastic to glitzy wrapping paper that can’t be recycled to gift bags and boxes that never get re-used. Each year Americans use over 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper and more than half of it ends up in a land fill. Additionally, much of the gift wrap, ribbons and bows we use are made outside of the U.S. With this in mind, I became determined to create a stylish, yet sustainable gift wrapping brand that is 100% made in the U.S.A.! And from there, That’s Wrapped was born!
While gift wrapping may sometimes seem time consuming or even a little trivial, I’ve found that the little details often make the biggest difference. A beautifully wrapped gift creates anticipation and excitement about what’s inside and it can transform an ordinary gift giving moment into something more meaningful and memorable. Seeing that special someone’s face light up when given a gift that is thoughtfully and sustainably wrapped… well that is the cherry on top!
So the next time you give a gift, give it with thoughtful intention inside, out and for our planet. And if you need ideas or inspiration, check out my blog, find me on Instagram (@thatswrapped) or just send me an email!
That’s Wrapped!
