All-Canadian Gift Giving! ~ Holiday Gift Guide 2012

November 25, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Check out this unique Made in Canada giftwrapping solution, the Colour Me Gift Wrap Kit. Each kit comes with a 70cm square unbleached white cotton wrap and two dual tipped non-toxic, child safe fabric pens. Perfect for kids to decorate, or for group gifts where everyone can doodle and sign the wrap. Or perhaps start a family tradition where more gets added to the wrap each year, as it gets passed around.
