Gift-Wrapping
Splurge in gift-wrap knows no bounds
Holiday shoppers are spending more and more on elaborate gift wrapping.
A few years ago, Matt Denton found an old hat box, covered it in purple velvet and tucked inside his mother’s Christmas gift, a “comfortable” lavender sweater.
The gift cost a modest $20. The packaging? A whopping $60, thanks to some pricey fabric.
