Select paper, colors, natural elements, and embellishments based on your intention. - Infuse Meaning
As you wrap, visualize your energy flowing into the gift. Tie bows and fold edges with mindfulness. - Bless the Gift
Hold it in your hands and say something like: “May this gift carry love, joy, and prosperity to its receiver.”
By wrapping with care, you turn a simple gesture into a meaningful ritual, one that touches the heart, uplifts the spirit, and carries your energy long after the ribbon is untied. ✨
