Celebrate the Graduates!

It’s that time of year again…time to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of all the graduates! Here are a few ways to make your gifts to the graduates in your life sophisticated and chic. Yay grads!

Flocking To Feathers

The feather trend has taken flight! Fashionistas everywhere are flocking to soft and colorful plumage to add that perfect festival flair to their accessories and homes. Here at Jillson & Roberts we have the perfect take on this hot trend to add a little feather fancy to all your gifts – along with a dash of gold sparkle for good measure!

No Drama Llamas

Fashionistas and the social media savvy have been spreading the llama trend everywhere. This exotic and adorable South American species is hitting the gift scene in a big way! Spitting aside, they are the perfect animal to add just the right amount of bohemian charm to your next gift. Our favorite part of our Dolly Llama collection is the cotton tassel trim on the small tote! You’ll love it along with the cactus and metallic accents. Perfect for your Coachella bound friend!

Party Time: Confetti!

Yay! It’s time to party with our party popper collection! Bursts of color with metallic inks, foil and holographic accents make this collection “pop”! The perfect way to add a little fun to your gifts.

Desert Vibes: Cactus

We’re not just seeing cactus in the desert anymore! Cacti are bringing their bohemian vibes to everything from fashion to home decor. Here at Jillson & Roberts we took our love of these prickly beauties and created some beautiful wrap and totes to add that desert flair to all your gift giving!

Into the Tropics

This spring instead of just your typical florals why not include some tropical flair? Our new Tropic Thunder collection invokes images of turquoise waters and palm leaves blowing in the breeze. We’re loving the jungle greens with pops of gold that help make this collection so popular!

DIY Holiday Wreath

Happy Holidays! To make the office a bit more festive we decided to made some easy wreaths from our Jillson & Roberts tissue paper. The process was simple and we love how they turned out!

To make your own, first cut a wreath shape out of cardboard in the desired size – our finished wreaths are about 18″ in diameter. Then cut 5″ squares of tissue paper in your chosen colors. For the green wreath we used FT13 and FT35, with FT09 for the berries. The red and white is FT09 and FT24. Then take each tissue square, pinch the bottom center, and pull all the edges up together to form a cone like puff. Once you have a bunch of these made, lay down double sided tape all over one side of the cardboard wreath and stick down the bottom center of each tissue puff until you achieve the desired fullness on your wreath. For the red/white wreath we alternated between using red and white tissue to form stripes. Once done hang with a ribbon of your choice – we used FR5924. Perfect to add some DIY decor to your store or home!

Gifting the Bottle This Winter Season – Part 2

We’re back with part 2 of our holiday season bottle wrapping inspiration! We love seeing all the ways Jillson & Roberts products can transform a simple bottle into an extraordinary gift. We can’t wait to put these ideas to use over the coming weeks as we enjoy time with family and friends!

This great wrapping idea is from one of our designers, Rachel. She used a mix of paper and tissue to create a unique and elegantly wrapped present that could work for a multitude of occasions! To create the look she used silver and gold striped tissue (PT337), glittered paper (R419), gold ribbed paper (R995), and some black and gold ribbon (FR1021+FR0921).

Our order entry expert Jessica wrapped a bottle to gift at a winter wedding. She used three tissues (PT337, MM15, RT15), and one of our gorgeous glittered curlies (CL83). The result will make your wedding gift a hit for sure!

Our Purchaser, Marlen, made a gift perfect for a Christmas party! She used Clear Cello (CE829) lined with our Traditional Nutcracker Tissue (XPT611). Then finished it off with a bow (FR3209) and foil tag (XST525)! Guaranteed to bring some Christmas cheer to any party!

Our Sales Administrator Maggie wrapped her bottle for a New Years party! She used some Silver Black Chevron and Solid Black tissues (BPT421+FT21) Paired with wide Black Satin ribbon (FR1121) and topped it off with a perfectly festive sheet of stickers (XS7606)!

Gifting the Bottle this Winter Season – Part 1

Along with the cooler weather and winter holidays, come parties and gatherings galore! Since a nice bottle of wine (or sparkling cider) is a great gift to take to any event this season we challenged some of our team here at Jillson & Roberts to wrap a bottle for a few common occasions. We are always impressed with the creativity of our Jillson team! Here are the events and wrapping solutions we saw:

First up we have Thanksgiving! It’s right around the corner and one of our designers, Laura, used some Yellow tissue and Natural crinkle (FT12+CS18) along with some paint to make sunflowers. Then attached them to our Metallic Gold bottle tote (BT915), added some Metallic Gold tissue (MM15) and completed the look with a tassel made from raffia and curling ribbon (PR18, MC15, PC27). Perfect to show thanks to your hostess on Thanksgiving or for any Fall dinner party!

Our Customer Service Manager Ryan, prepped his bottle to be the perfect gift at a winter Birthday party! He used our gorgeous holographic Sparkleflake bottle tote (XBT676) paired with a simple white tissue (FT24). Perfect to celebrate a birthday or other winter gathering!

Our Art Director, Janel, made her bottle black tie ready! Perfect for a fancy soiree or wedding! She used our Clear Cello (CE829) and added clippings from various colored tissues to make an amazing confetti effect. Paired with a black and white paper bow tie and some gold ribbon it’s definitely a show stopper!

Our Order Entry Specialist, Nataly, made a picture perfect gift for a Hanukkah celebration! She used our Silver Sparkle tote (BT750) paired with metallic tissues (GS16+RT16).
