For my birthday last month Balazs surprised me with a bunch of sunflowers wrapped in a French newspaper he hunted down a few weeks before. That made me realize how thoughtful a simple newspaper wrapping can be and how much it can mean. So, last week while going over to a friend's house for dinner, we got a bunch of mixed blooms and wrapped it in a vintage The New York Times' sports section, since it's Gabe's favourite read. I love when something so simple can become so meaningful. Would you do it? xo
P.S: The meaning of cacti.
P.P.S: Yowza, you can even go crazy and get the original New York Times from 1850's!

Your Balasz is a keeper Diana. Love this idea. Jill
What a sweet birthday gift! I never thought about using newspaper to wrap flowers, but that just adds a really lovely touch. xo, Katie

How thoughtful! Love all these bouquets. I treated myself to flowers last weekend, which I almost never do, and I felt like a bird with a french fry walking home with them :-)
Giggle, Jill...He surely is:)
Katie, I loved it!
