The not so glamorous reality of running a gift wrapping business... ๐ŸŽ€

Jun 12, 2026

imageYou may think that the life of a professional gift wrapper is all gorgeous wrapping paper, creating fancy bows, piles of gifts or delivering training sessions & events....and sometimes it is.

But the day-to-day is much more mundane, and to be honest, very normal.

For example, today's to-do list included:

โ˜‘๏ธ Following up on class proposals for the festive season

โ˜‘๏ธ Sending information for an online Signature Gift Wrapping Made Easyโ„ข Class

โ˜‘๏ธ Updating Terms & Conditions

โ˜‘๏ธ Writing & scheduling content, including my latest Substack post

โ˜‘๏ธ Reviewing the stats for my latest LI article

โ˜‘๏ธ Reaching out to people I have worked with before to book this year's gift wrapping training in before the Sept/Oct rush

โ˜‘๏ธ Sending a training update to my running coach in Australia (my other life...)

โ˜‘๏ธ Drinking tea โ˜•๏ธ

Just normal, everyday things.

But doing all this does mean I get to do the thing I love when my diary is all booked in Q4 - teaching people how to gift wrap ๐ŸŽ
