Hand wrapped.

The slightly off corners, the extra pieces of tape to keep all the seams down, the gift that can be seen through the thin tissue paper. I love it all.

I love that your hands wrapped this package in front of me.

I don’t expect you to make the whole gift, I probably don’t even want you to. But the fact that you took the time to decorate this box means the world to me.

There is a time for perfection, automation, sterile distance. I like that time, too. But not now.

Thank you :)
