I love using old maps, comics, wallpaper…. any paper at all! And to give it a new lease of life brings me such satisfaction and pleasure.

Repurposing these treasures is also a great way to make gifts really unique and personal, like using a map of a hometown.

This upcycling is really popular at my workshops and people love looking through nostalgic annuals and comics.

I iron crumpled paper to take out creases, even the covers!

I love this feedback so much!

It really sums up what I hope and wish for with my workshops: fun, learn, friends.

And this quote is even more special since it comes from my very unusual supplier.

Cath Hindle is an amazing professional organiser who helps people when then are feeling overwhelmed with clutter in their house.

It is so hard to let go of beautiful books, atlases, maps, vintage comics, wallpaper and other treasures when you know they will go in land fill because charity shops can't accept them.

Well, Cath passes these beauties to me and I repurpose and reuse them in my workshops! A fantastic circular, sustainability story 😍

So what actually happens at one of my gift wrapping workshops?

I welcome everyone and put them at ease. People take a seat and watch me demo my simple tips and tricks for a neat and pretty parcel.

Then everyone can have a go with the same gift I have wrapped. They have a wide choice of materials, colours and patterns so each gift is unique and personal.

Shoulders drop and the room becomes quiet as everyone because absorbed in their creation.

Everyone leaves with a gift to give or keep, a new skill and a sense of achievement and connection 🥰

My workshops are perfect for friends, families or team building.

I really love it when neat ends meet!

Boxes with square ends are my favourite as you can make super neat folds. And by using no sellotape, you can make these so visible.

Hello! A little introduction in case you are new here.

I’m Aoife (eefa!) and love wrapping presents so much I have made it into a business🥰

I swapped working in PR for paper and love using sustainable and creative ways to wrap gifts.

My services include workshops - where I use wrapping gifts to connect teams and wrapping - where I give people their time back.

Pleased to meet you!

I love adding a little pocket for a tag, card or flowers. Cute! Would you like to learn how?

What do you do with left over wallpaper?

It might not surprise you to learn I wrap gifts and make gift bags with it!

Check out this amazing Caspian print. It has amazing golden highlights and reminds me of the White Lotus opening credits.

Wallpaper makes great bags since its thinker that paper but still manageable.
