“I have shared with you the reasons I like wrapping presents, my personal sources for inspiration, and some favorite ideas. I hope this book gives you the ability to define those things for yourself and in the process, to bring a small joy, a memory, or simply a moment of pleasure to you and to someone you love.” —From the Introduction

With her brilliant sense of style, designer and bestselling author Carolyne Roehm makes the case in Presentations that there’s just as much pleasure in wrapping gifts as in receiving them—and that beautiful packages guarantee memorable celebrations.
