Using recycled and repurposed materials, Inouye's approach inspires readers to think intentionally about the presentation of every gift, whether it's a tip for an unseen hotel housekeeper, a simple gift of fresh fruit for a neighbor, or a special birthday gift for a beloved family member. Detailed step-by-step photos teach Inouye's artful approach to every aspect of wrapping--including tape-free folding, paper and fabric bows, clever message tags, and one-of-a-kind approaches for odd-shaped items--and guide readers in creating their own unique gift presentations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megumi Lorna Inouye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635865549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635865547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Storey Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.11h x 6.14w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024","brand":"Megumi Lorna Inouye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540758655231,"sku":"9781635865547","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_198aa973-88bb-47bf-824e-f03d6ad22e21.jpg?v=1700589704","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-soul-of-gift-wrapping-megumi-lorna-inouye-9781635865547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
