jewelry box and a pair of earrings by an ex-boyfriend. I guess that he never noticed that I did not have pierced ears or a lot of jewelry.

I enjoy giving gifts. I like all of the ribbons and pretty paper. Most of all, I like the look on the person’s face when they unwrap it. I spent a couple of summers working wrapping gifts at my local mall.

I choose to wrap gifts for my niece and nephew in butcher paper. I really like using butcher paper for wrapping because it lends itself to so many different applications. The best thing to do with butcher paper for wrapping is stamps.

My niece likes unicorns and I found a nice stamp at my local craft store. I used a purple stamp pad and a pink stamp pad. The present that I wrapped for her was the prettiest on the table of gifts at her party.

The gifts at my nephew’s party were all car themed. He really likes race cars. I found some NASCAR stickers at the craft store and used them with primary colored ribbons to wrap his gift.

The hardest time I have had purchasing gifts is when I need to purchase gifts for people that I don’t know very well. My son started receiving party invitations when he began preschool. It seemed as though he received a new invitation every week.

Birthday gifts for children’s peers should have a maximum value of ten dollars. I found that the best way to shop for and teach my son about gift giving was to take him with me when I shopped. We talk about the child with the and we find an appropriate book.

I always use butcher paper for wrapping gifts for my son to take to a party. After I wrap the present, my son has the job of decorating it. In the past, he has used markers, watercolors, stickers, stamps and crayons.

My son always has fun taking part getting gifts ready for their recipients. I enjoy seeing the pride he shows when he present the gift to his friend. It makes me feel like I am teaching him the right values about giving and receiving gifts.
