All Wrapped Up

The frame the [date]ers love presents.

There's something about a beautifully wrapped package that is just the most exciting kind of fun. When a gift just looks so pretty, so perfect, so exactly what you wanted, but you haven't even gotten to the gift part yet....must be something good, right?!

At frame the [date], we spent a lot of time in product/packaging development because we wanted frame the [date]s to be just as beautifully when wrapped as they are when unwrapped. We needed them to be elegant but also earth-friendly; to be unique while still feeling familiar. We think we succeeded and hope you all do, too.

Our packaging all comes from recycled materials and each frame the [date] is wrapped with love. We call it eco-chic, but you can call it whatever you want. :)

Our love of packaging and all things presentation-y made us fall head over heels for Lovely Package, the source for great package design. Here are a few of our faves....

Hollandaise has never looked so lovely. This packet apparently has a particular affinity for salmon :)

Guess what will be inside?? brilliant.

Origami in my tea? Yes, please.

We love chocolate regardless of its packaging, but these are the cutest chocolate bars ever!

This soap is so pretty, we would honestly never unwrap it. There could be something else completely inside and we'd never know the difference.
