Hi! Now first let me say I LOVE Hallmark stores and cards and pretty things. Marjolein Bastin is an all time fave of mine. BUT they kinda fall down on the job when you're celebrating a young guy's birthday.
A friend has a summer birthday....I always do a get-together here for him. And of course a stack of gifts, even if "just for fun", are a necessary part of any birthday.
He is young and ---cool? He doesn't look like he should have formerly Father's Day boring dark green and ick-blue gift wrap paper.
And I spent all my money on champagne anyway.
A household sponge...a little sketch of a Tiki...
acrylic paint from the junk cupboard...
and voila`!
Much nicer and sooo easy!
I think he liked everything.
(especially the champagne?).
Have a great week!

I love your wrapping paper. so fun! It is definitely hard to find a range of cards or gift paper for young men. You did a great job! Sounds like a fantastic party. Best wishes, Tammy
