The best things...

...come in small packages. I've been doing some thinking about the way I package my products and marketing materials and have been having fun researching examples of quirky packaging on Pinterest (my favourite way to pull together sources of inspiration and create virtual mood boards).



I really like the idea of sending out little packages with interesting added extras when someone buys from me.


I like this as a way to fasten a brown paper bag.


I really like the way these boxes have a hidden surprise.

From the beginning: Soap packaging by Sweet Petula via The Dieline, shop packaging by Oh, hello friend, packaging by Paloma's Nest, via EverythingEtsy.com, fabric wrapping by Workroom Social, box design by Leslie David for Comme des Garçons, via designworklife

So, I've ordered myself a stamp, taken advantage of the Moo.com sale and ordered mini cards and am going to be experimenting with my supplies of butchers string, brown paper and other exciting bits and bobs. I'll post some pictures of the results.
