Gift-wrapper Extraordinaire Wins Patch Contest

PALO ALTO, CA -- We could all learn a thing or two about one of the key ingredients to the holiday season from Darcy Fowkes. So much so, the woman with a self-proclaimed wrapping video and side business has raked in a "tis-the-season" swag bag from Patch for her abilities.

Let's face it. Gift wrapping is not a talent one is born with. It's more of an acquired skill, and Fowkes has proven she's not your average, everyday gift wrapper.

First, there's her gift-wrapping mantra: “Logic will get you from A to B; Imagination will get you Everywhere” ― Albert Einstein.

Imagination it is.

Secondly, she's conscientious -- making recycling a main component to her gift wrapping, whether it means repurposing cards on unused panels or refurbishing wrapping paper. She's got all the tricks. Just watch:
