DESIGN & TWINE
Beautiful Gift Wrapping and More ... 

Design & Twine, a gift wrapping service, is a division of Design Realign, Inc., founded by Carla Gentle--a Certified professional, budget-conscious interior stylist focused on home staging (sell your home faster and for more money), interior redesign (one-day room makeovers using what you already own), and interior / holiday decorating. If you think about it, styling a home IS the equivalent of tying a bow on a gift. Styling a home and tying a bow on a gift are both a work of art and both bring everything together. It is in those finishing touches that bring WOW to a room or makes you not want to open the present because the wrapping is too pretty to destroy. A beautiful gift wrapping job is a thoughtful gift made with love.

Holiday Gift Wrap - Design Realign

Holiday Gift Wrap
In All It's Glory

There is something special about a beautifully-wrapped gift ...

Design & Twine wraps gifts for all occasions year round but is most known for their stunning holiday gift wrap packages. Besides being a gift wrapper, Carla is also a designer, decorator, stager, and color consultant. And just like her interior design projects, her gift-wrap projects are beautifully color coordinated and visually appealing, as Carla has an eye for what goes well together; and her care and attention to detail does not go unnoticed. A beautifully-wrapped gift is a thoughtful gift made with love.

Directly below are some samples of our paper, ribbon, and gift tags as
part of a larger selection to choose from in order to meet your specific tastes or the personality of the recipient receiving the gift. You'll notice how each coordinated set is easy on the eyes, as everything goes well together.

A SAMPLING OF THE GREENERY / PICK / RIBBON SELECTION

Carla has a pick for just about any type and style of gift imaginable. Below is just a sampling of some of the gift decorations she uses. She has about seven different types of greenery, as well as silver dollar plants, various pine cones, berries, and poinsettias, to name a few. Can you visualize any of these adorning your family's gifts?

A SAMPLING OF SEVERAL GIFT WRAP SCENARIOS

Carla will get to know you a little to understand your taste or style or the personality of the recipient receiving the gift. This will help her determine what best to combine to come up with a custom package. Below are a few examples of materials she would combine to create various custom packages.

MATCH CLIENT OR GIFT RECIPIENT PREFERENCE OR PERSONALITY

You can feel comfort in knowing our wide selection of wrapping supplies allows for matching the client's preference or that of the gift recipient opening the gifts. No longer will you be restricted to a select few options at department stores (around 5 types of paper and one standard bow). Whether you prefer simple and elegant or grand and embellished, natural and organic or bold and flashy, we offer solutions to match every preference and personality.

HOLIDAY PARTIES AND CORPORATE EVENTS

Know what fun way to spruce up your holiday party? Treat the ladies with a gift-wrapping session. What a festive way to celebrate. They will love it! The gals will receive complimentary wrapping paper and ribbon so they can participate and show off their creativity as I demonstrate and be their guide.

Are you a retail company looking to beautify your location and attract customers with festive activities during the holiday season? Are you a company that exhibits in fall or winter shows and are looking for a way to draw attention to your booth or new product? How about having Design & Twine 'set  up camp' in your space to help draw some of that attention? Contact Carla at 847.962.2250 or carla@designrealign.com to learn more.
