I've found a very intersting article about the Japanese art of wrapping. The article says that for the Japanese "paper is the mirror of the soul" and for them wrapping a gift is like "wrapping the heart" you can read the full article here . On Marta Stewart blog you will find a step by step wrapping procedure and also some ideas to make special gifts with your hands.
On one of my favourite blog, Apartment Therapy, you can find 30 coolest ideas to personalized your gift. Success guaranteed!
