Dig This Treasure!

I’ve mentioned my love for vintage wrapping paper a few times in the past. My collection is pretty impressive, and I’ve had lots of sellers ask me what I do with it when I buy it. Isn’t that a dumb question? I use it, of course!

I don’t just like cute wrapping paper–I like weird wrapping paper too. 

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I have a habit and history of freaking my husband out with some of my estate sale finds. Normally this is not intentional, but it was my husband’s birthday this past Saturday, so I had the opportunity (responsibility, really) to pull out some of my best stock and get a good reaction. This is what I chose. 

I was SO excited to give Adam some presents wrapped in this stuff. Naked baby dolls. Baby dolls buried under toy trucks. Fake mice. Stuffed monkeys. Toy soldiers. Can’t get much weirder. And it’s an actual photograph printed on the paper. Totally amazing. 

Maybe I have high expectations but I was SO disappointed when I gave Adam his gifts and he didn’t even give the paper a second glance! He just ripped them open! I guess I have to find something even creepier for next year. 

OR, it’s possible that we’re just swapping roles. This is what was inside one of the packages (he asked for it, and please note that he is 33 years old): 

Who’s freaky now?
