It’s a Wrap!
I enjoy beautiful hand made items, and this
Lizi Boyd wrapping paper is exceptional. It’s
unique and contemporary, but still elegant.
Giving is definitely better than receiving if I
can always use paper this gorgeous.
$3 to $4 per sheet. Papers Ink, 207 439-1955

Light the Night
These contemporary votive holders will be
the few candles at your party guaranteed
not to be blown out. I’m a fan because they
attach to the balcony with a screw clamp, and
also work great on my outdoor table top.
$39.95. Partylite, 800 450-1797.

Serve it Up
Cutting the cake was never so much fun. 
I was hooked by the flirty scalloped edges
on this Ruffled Cake Stand. Just 8” in
diameter, the green porcelain looks so fresh.
Perfect for breakfast fruit, too! $20.

Takes the Cake
I had a lot of visitors to my office when this
sample of confectionery sculpture arrived.
Tasting as good as it looks, this is a gift and
a cake all in one. The only problem is that it is
almost too pretty to put candles on. Call for pricing.

Beading Party
How about a party where you get to make
your gift for the birthday gal? The Bead Store
& More in Greenland, N.H. offers instruction
at a private party where for $20 a person
plus materials, you can create your own
wearable art like this lovely pearl and bead
necklace with a shortener clasp. Approx $100.
