Thanks, Chris. I find that most ideas haven't already been thoghut of, and I knew that online gift-wrapping would be out there somewhere. I found a few more sites that offer that service on top of the one you provided. I also found several companies that produce personalized gift cards. I do wish, however, that these services existed on both a national AND localized level. It would be nice if my money went to a locally owned boutique paper store instead of only to an ominous online store that exists in some faraway state possibly even in India. I understand that people who work at national companies (an in India) need to make money, too. But still, I'm all for supporting local businesses first.I'll have to check out Expressionables.com or GiftSkins.com next time I need some gift wrap paper. I should also tell a few of my photography clients about it. Could be a good way to send out their promo packets.Thanks again for the comment
