Great idea, We have a posh shop near us in Derby (Bennetts) who offer a gift wrapping service and I often use it to have wedding presents etc wrapped. They only charge £2.50 or £3 per present so its very reasonable and beautiful and I think very good value. I suppose they buy all the bows etc...

Hi James (nice that you are a real member now and not lurking behind girlf tee hee) I think its a super idea to stick to cambridge when you can and still keep "your life". Whatever plan or however you need to stick to is ideal for you and adjust it to suit yourself. You are not that...
