Did anyone go to Target this weekend? We wanted to check out the Ayomi Yoshida collection of gift wrap, but just didn't have the heart to spend any of the day inside a big boxy store. According to an ad we saw, the collection of patterned papers ($1.99 - 9.99) came out yesterday.
We have been a fan of a simple black and white polka dot gift wrap from Target for a few years. In fact, it is our staple packaging. It is festive, works for boys and girls (we seem to have lots of kids presents to wrap) and allows us to simplify our gift wrap plan. A few rolls of the polka dot paper and some really nicely colored ribbon choices are all we need. The papers from this collection follow the same theory of neutral pattern paired with bright (red and pink - a favorite color combo) accents.
Living car free means we don't get over to Target regularly but we might need to hop on the bike for these!

Target is a no no. Don't support big box retailers like Target, Walmart, Sears, K-Mart etc. that put small unique retailers out of business.
I think that's a bit oversimplified. Sure I'd rather support a mom and pop shop, but sometimes Target has what you want, and they don't.
I think it's a bit unrealistic to boycot all big business, though I'm happy to pick and choose where I put my money (Target yes, Walmart no). I love the clean look of this paper - thanks for the tip, AT.
I went to target last weekend, and thats why I searched for ayomi. I think is perfect, simple but just perfect the contrast of colors, I really loved it. IT LOOKS REALLY ELEGANT.
I enjoy Target. I went there yesterday and found these Ayomi Yoshida Cranes. I was thrilled, today I and rearching her line. Discount Retailers reach more people. I would not have ever heard of Yoshida with out Target.
