Its no secret that red and love go hand in hand. It's only right in many ways; red is so vibrant, passionate, hot and fiery. It conjours up hearts and roses, lipstick kisses and wax seals on love-me letters.
But what about the fact that 50% of valentines are supposed to be for boys?
Perhaps it's time to rethink your wrapping paper choices; instead of rosy-red or pretty-pink chose baby-blue instead.
Not sure you can go blue for V-Day? Then remind yourself that there's one brand that sells dreams a plenty wrapped in blue boxes and tied off with a white ribbon. Why not replicate their style, only go for a dollar-store white box and add a blue ribbon. For my present to Happy Husband I added two shades of blue card to the top, and a plastic toy that reminded my of a key.
Blue is beautiful, whether it's for Valentines Day, party keepsakes or gift wrapping birthday treats.
