Offering her signature style and personal take on wrapping any present so that it is transformed into a gloriously gorgeous gift, Jane shows you her ‘tricks’ on how to upcycle vintage treasures and reuse unusual wrapping papers, such as sheet music and old maps, to the best effect, as well as how to choose the perfect style for the gift’s recipient.
