HBO box sets all wrapped up!

When it comes to giving Christmas presents, DVD box sets will be high on many shopping lists.  I loved the challenge from HBO to wrap three bestsellers in such a way that you could guess the title

For Game of Thrones I used faux fur (that the recipient can make into a fabulous cushion or mini throw to snuggle under when watching this very popular programme!), King Joffrey’s crown and raven feathers.  Contact the bird sanctuary Raven Haven if you are after a flurry of feathers.  They do great work and welcome donations.

True Detective series 1 will be a ‘must watch’ for me.  In the meantime I made an evidence bag to keep the DVD box set under wraps.  The decoration included a devil’s trap, a torn strip of cotton and a festive stem of holly.  No need to buy a card, I made one featuring the beer can man.

Girls is also on my ‘watch’ list.  Set in the Big Apple it just had to be wrapped in the New York streetmap.  Happily I found the perfect gift wrapping paper, and in pink!   Cocooned in my signature ‘pouch’ technique it was decorated with a beautiful bow.  Anyone notice the condom tucked in it?!!
