Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String

As I get closer to opening up an online storefront, I'm thinking more and more about how I'm going to send out my products. I'm a firm believer of, "it's all in the packaging" and since i've been known to make a purchase based on how it's packaged and because I've been totally thrilled with receiving a gift that's wrapped in some clever way, this is kind of a big deal. I do have a few ideas rolling around in my head and I've been totally inspired by what I've seen on Pinterest; even created a board for it. Just take a look...

little glassine bags from oh, hello friend

magazine page turned gift bag from zakka life



brown kraft paper and doilies from callaloo soup



printed linen from design sponge

Aren't these super cute ideas? My head starts swimming when I think about how to put it all together. Have you ever been thrilled by the packaging of something you've received? Kind of like a cake that so pretty you don't want to cut into it, ya know?
