I’m a sucker for a great presentation.  And what’s more enjoyable than ordering something you want or need, and having it arrive beautifully packaged? Suddenly, it’s a special occasion that’s all about YOU.

My old passport case was getting a bit ratty, and it was a dark brown, always difficult to find in my bag. I finally found what I wanted online and decided to treat myself.

1. Plain carton arrives.  I know what’s in it so no surprise there, right?
2. But… when I open it, a beautiful card pops up on the lid.
3. Cool! This has my initials on it. 4. A box within a box…5. And now, the box my item is actually in….6. Safely protected in its little pouch…7.  The perfect shade of red.8. With lots of room for credit cards and money too.

Why shouldn’t something practical also be beautiful? Just looking at this makes me eager to plan my next trip abroad.

Treat yourselves to a great weekend, dear readers! xoxo, Alisa
