Sometimes it’s true what they say - the simplest things are the best. I’ve been sort of looking for some solution to keeping track of all those unwieldy holiday and birthday gift wrapping rolls that seem to collect in our closet. There are any number of newfangled gadgets for storing them - but this simple vertical plastic container from Rubbermaid seems like it’ll do the trick.

I stumbled across a company that provides a pretty fun and unique alternative to traditional giftwrapping paper. South River Trading Company
, a family owned business in Virginia for over 25 years, came up with the idea for gift wrap that you can customize with your OWN images over the internet and then order it directly from them.

This seems like a kind of fun idea to spice up your boring birthday and holiday wrapping paper. There is a step-by-step process on their website which involves first selecting one of over 100 basic wrapping paper templates that have blank spaces for the photos you are going to upload. Then you go ahead an upload the photos that you want to appear on your custom giftwrap paper.

They also let you do cropping of the photo so that the exact portion of the photo that you want will appear on the giftwrap. Then you just preview it to make sure it’s all ok and then order it right then and there!

Here’s some info from their about page on how the site came about:
