No Time to Gift Wrap?
12.21.09
Considering I have yet to purchase even one gift—four days out until Christmas—gift-wrapping seems entirely premature. But for those who are ahead of yourselves this year, by all means check out Cotton Idea Studio in Newport Beach. Not only do they carry great gift wrap, grosgrain ribbon, letterpress tags and accoutrements; they’ll even custom gift wrap for you. Drop-off your gifts for same-day turnaround. Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today through Wednesday; and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Christmas Eve.
