"Every gift, from the outside layer to the revelation of the gift itself, tells a thoughtful story." —Pastor Angie
SOULjourner, gift packaging is more than aesthetic—it's an act of creativity + care. Gift wrapping can be a sacred ritual that celebrates your unique expression of care.
Whether your heart craves precise corners or an organic look, each mindful choice transforms packaging from work to wonder.

Why Sustainable Wrapping?

Practical Step: The Mindful Wrapping Ritual
Simply choose one sustainable wrapping method:
Eco-friendly gift wrap paper
Layer leaves + botanicals on kraft paper (secure w/natural elements with twine or biodegradable string)
A fabric wrap that becomes part of the gift (tea towel or scarf)
Repurposing beautiful containers like decorative or hat boxes
Natural elements offer beautiful, life-giving gift-wrapping alternatives that transform packaging into an artistic experience:
Mindful Considerations
Choose locally sourced, sustainable elements
Make sure botanicals are clean + dry
Select elements that won't damage the gift's packaging
Consider the recipient's potential allergies
Journal Prompt:
How might the next gift wrapping you choose tell a story beyond the gift itself?
Affirm: I will take note of nature's beauty to transform my gift's presentation into a sacred sanctuary.


Housewarming Gift Idea: Place the candle + coaster set inside the tea towel, then, gather all four corners of the tea towel and tie it off with raffia or twine. To finish it off, add a sprig of nature to the gift tag.

Until next time,
Gift from your soul.
