And, we'll even wrap your gifts for you, in your choice of styles. Our casual gift wrap consists of our signature burgundy gift box tied with a gold raffia bow. For a more elegant look, our signature burgundy gift box is wrapped with white and gold translucent vellum giftwrap and tied with a gold ribbon.
