June and July are jam-packed months for my family. Between the 6 birthdays, Father’s Day, and the inevitable summer weddings and new babies, let’s just say my head is spinning.

Yesterday as we headed out the door to my parents’ to celebrate Father’s Day and my sister Becky’s birthday, I realized that I had forgotten to wrap her gift! I found her a sweet vintage stone rose pendant that is dangling from a long, delicate gold chain. The consignment shop that I purchased it from didn’t have any boxes, and I was NOT going to put it in a gift bag that was way too big for it (I’m kind of a gift wrap snob, I guess). No, I needed something equally as sweet as the gift so it would be that much more fun to receive. And then I had a moment….HELLOOOO KRISTY!

I quickly dug out one of my Gift Box Studio books (Lolli, to be specific), popped out the Cube Box, assembled it, wrapped the pendant in pretty blue lace, placed it in the box and was out the door in literally 4 minutes!

I should mention that I was one of the designers that worked on developing the product, but that was a few years ago, and I was in a rush yesterday, so I feel like I was on an even playing field compared with someone who has never seen the product. Having said that, I have to say that I was impressed with how quickly the box came together and how easy it was to flip through the pages to find a cute, corresponding tag. I thought I was just biased before, but Gift Box Studio truly is a great product!
