I have recently become enamored with Etsy's Packaging Pool on Flickr. Etsy artists share their favorite packaging for inspiration and there is plenty to be had. Thankfully, luckily, and with much gratitude, I have been packaging orders almost every day and it's become this little mini-obsession of having things 'just so.' Yesterday B said to me, "You know, you could save like an hour if you just put them in them in the envelope, a WHOLE hour." (Ok, B, that's exaggerating a bit, don't you think?) My respone was, "Wouldn't you want to receive a package like this? Throwing stuff in an envelope is lame." (I'm so mature). Good packaging takes a bit longer and it costs a bit more, but it's worth it, right? Being proud of my product means being proud of the package it comes in. The package say, "Dearest customer, if you LIKE me, you're going to LOVE what's inside!"
Here are my recent favorites. Please note I've linked to the individual's blogs or flickr account...

oh I love them all but #2 and #3 are cute cute cute...
i've bought couple of things on Etsy for friends' birthdays and i really wish that the sellers would have offered such delicate packages!
Packaging is just as important as the product itself! These are adorable and very inviting.
Thanks for sharing :)
Have a Bright, Bold, and Beautiful Day!

The eco part of me says it doesn't matter how its packaged so long as its not too wasteful. The other part of me just loves getting a nice packaged-up parcel! x
I'm a sucker for good packaging too... took me forever to decide how I wanted to package my jewelry. I wanted it just so...
So many fabulous comments on my blog about your shop yesterday! I'm so glad it's going well for you!
These look really lovely, I especially love the one with the bike! And goog packaging makes a good product even better!
When I received your package I thought it was soooo coool!!! My whole family thought it was the coolest thing possible, like I was receiving a gift! It made the whole experience more "special"
I love receiving gifts and purchases in the mail. It's like Christmas all the time. I actually find myself buying things online just for that purpose. Add in pretty packaging, and I am one very giddy girl!!
I agree, packaging is very important. That one with the bicycle is devine!

I love them all!! The red polka-dots are adorable, wish I knew where the paper came from!

I've been thinking a lot about packaging too. I think I change mine up each time. I haven't settled on anything yet. I like the writing tablet wrapping. So clever.
PaperLeaf's bike package rocks!
There's something so wonderful about perfect packaging! It sets the tone and shows care for a product!!
