Tissue Paper to the Rescue!!!

Necessity truly is the mother of innovation!!

This year (as previous years), I've had the task of buying and wrapping all the holiday gifts for my boss.

Which holiday?? You ask!

Why, the Persian New Year, of course!! I answer. 

So I bought the gifts on Monday (mind you, I needed to deliver the wrapped and ready gifts by Wednesday!) and forgot about them (I do have selective memory) until Tuesday night 9PMish. At 9:30PM on Tuesday  night, I waddled out to my car, realizing that I cannot procrastinate any longer (the gifts weren't going to wrap themselves after all) to fetch the gifts. 

With the wrap-ready goodies in house, I went to the gift wrapping closet and became increasingly distraught as all my rummaging produced nothing but tissue paper and ribbons. No wrapping paper!!! ANYWHERE!!! 

When a trip to Ralphs AND Albertsons proved to be the opposite of fruitful (why don't they carry gift wrap?!?!), I returned home with my tail dragging behind me. 

Then I sat down on the ground, surrounded by tissue paper of all colors, a box of half-used spools of ribbons, and the gifts that needed wrapping. As I looked around, a thought came to my mind:

Who says I can't wrap in tissue paper?? 

So, I began the journey of prettifying the bland boxes, feeling tired and a bit defeated but finished feeling glorious! 

Here are some pictures. You judge for yourself. Personally, I think they're not bad at all!!

(I might actually wrap in tissue more often.)
