About our workshops...


We offer professional one day courses in

Gift Wrapping and also Card Making, which

are held in Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and London throughout the year. These are all hands on workshops and great if you’re coming alone as they’re small in numbers with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  Lunch is included and these courses make a great gift (handmade vouchers are available if you wish to give this as a present). 

Private courses are also available in your own home or workplace if you want us to do the travelling (and work out cheaper if you have

over 4 in attendance).

Jane Means has been a Gift Wrapping Expert for nearly 10 years and is always in demand with top stores. She runs the courses personally so you get tips first hand from the expert herself
On the Gift Wrapping course you will learn how to wrap every gift perfectly, whatever the shape, occasion or budget. It's a hands on workshop where you will wrap a variety of shapes (you take home most of your wrapped creations so remember to bring a large carrier bag in addition to any awkward shaped gifts you wish to tackle!)


On this action packed course you will use a variety of materials and willl cover the wrapping basics, tackling bottles, circular items, awkward shapes, Japanese pleating, ribbon tying and bows.  Ideal if you wish to improve your presentation skills or offer a
retail service.

All levels are welcome on this informal course and Lunch, Materials and Handouts will be provided
