Even Color Blind Giftwrappers Can't Go Wrong This Christmas
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Staff Correspondent
The people who put out the pretty wristings and ribbons at Christmas have come down to my level this year.
I'm color blind.
Mixing "shocking pink" and red used to bring about a shudder and make me a social outcast. Likewise dubonnet and cardinal red, and lilac and vermillion.
Today, anything goes. Furthermore, experts say when you mix up the colors you create another one.
The paper you'll wrap your presents in this year runs a dizzy gamut from stuff to match a lady's eyes to simulating the argyle socks a 'teen-ager knits for her old man. For big packages, you'll select big, bold designs. Small patterns are for little packages.
There also is the problem of wrapping—something I never have mastered. As a wrapper of packages, I have all of the skill of a pigeon-toed pachyderm.
Mrs. Mona Keene, a specialist for Hallmark, gave me some tips that I pass along for free.
Put a pretty bow on each package and, if you mail it, protect same with a cardboard box protector.
I tried it, but it didn't work. I still think you can save a lot of time by having a trained department store emglove wrap your package.
Our experts says to be careful and not spend too much for paper. It's plain silly to put out 20 cents for a package of paper in which to pretty up a 10-cent whistle.
Mrs. Keene also suggests that people who receive fancy wrappings on their packages should not throw them away.
The ribbons can make Altea or Tebiatha look pretty in her pig tails. The kids also will get a kick out of cutting out figures in the wrappings for their scrap books or they can paste them on dime-store wastepaper baskets, or on lamp shades in their rooms.
The big folks might like to glue some of the prettier parts of the wrappings on match-boxes, coasters, book ends or the like.
Personally, I'm looking forward to a lot of wrappings. They do a fine job getting the logs going in my fireplace.
