Candy Shoppe Christmas Card Set - Wrapped Gift

Every good holiday starts with a package, and this card gives you one with a bow. A striped red and gold gift box wears a deep green velvet ribbon, while a mint tag announces "Do not open until 25th December," a rule that's surely been tested by many a curious child. A pink poinsettia, holly sprigs, and a candy cane tuck in beside the box, all set against a soft pink gingham background.

Wrapping presents has a long history. Paper was invented in China around the second century BCE, and by the medieval period paper and cloth were being used to dress up gifts across Europe. Gift tags and ribbon bows became common in the 1800s, when store-bought goods and printed paper made wrapping easier and more decorative. Whatever the material, the idea is the same: a little wrapping turns an ordinary thing into a surprise.

Inside, the verse reads "Get wrapped up in the season," a playful invitation to slow down and enjoy the holidays with the people you love.
