Finally, something to celebrate - Elizabeth Parker are offering a gift wrapping option!
We are only too aware that the Festive season is going to be different this year, and that you may want to send gifts directly to loved ones as you may not be able to see each other face to face.
Therefore, for the first year ever, we are offering Festive Gift Wrap, to help ensure that when you gift is received it fills your loved one with joy as soon as they open their parcel, as well as when they open their menswear accessory gift on Christmas Day.
Here at Elizabeth Parker, our motto is ‘It’s all in the Detail’ and our gift wrap offering is no exception which is why it took some time to pull together the selection that we have on offer today!
It was really important to us that our wrapping options were sustainable and that the elements could be recycled or reused. so luckily we were able (after a long morning of online searching – we were trying to stay safe and avoid heading to the shopping centres) to source these handsome FSC Certified Kraft Papers, that are fully recyclable in a variety of colours.
Then we needed to find the finishing touches. We were certain that we could find something that we could repurpose in the Elizabeth Parker studio and we really liked the idea of pulling in mens accessory components to finish the gift off!
As we sorted through archival materials, we stumbled upon reams of unused Cuffknot elastic ( did you know that Cuffknots, although often called Silk Cuffknots are not made of Silk – if they were they would be single use as silk would not withstand being put through a double cuff) that would be perfect
to use as twine on our gifts – giving a little more dimension to the bow. Once we tried some different colours against the paper and saw the contrast in the materials, we were sold! Our in - house Graphic Designer pulled together some simple designs for the gift cards to match each paper option. Your gift card will be printed with a personal message of your choice and placed on top of any of our standard size or above boxes before we wrap them. If you order a Lapel Pin gift wrapped, the gift note will be placed in the box next to the gift! With this in mind we realised that we also needed a tag on the gift…
The team had a quick ‘socially distant’ brainstorm around the packing bench, and our head designer (purveyor of all the design related gadgets) dashed across to her drawer and pulled out what looked like a hole punch – but it was in fact a Collar Stay Punch – could a Collar Stay shaped tag be any more perfect?
There you have it – one beautifully wrapped gift, in recyclable paper featuring finishes touches that emulate the menswear accessories that Elizabeth Parker have been designing and manufacturing for over 25 years!
We are really pleased with the outcome and we hope you will be too!
All your gifts will be wrapped in the workshop by our very own Elizabeth Parker Elves – who have received some wrapping lessons from a local expert – we can ensure that every little parcel of Joy is as wonderful as the accessory within!
