Product Description:

Lagniappe Gift Wrap Fun Facts:

• Takes one minute to wrap a gift, even for those with two left thumbs!
• Odd shaped gifts are a breeze to wrap, from guitars to stuffed penguins.
• Unless the item is fragile, there’s no need for boxes or tissue paper.
• Bags may be opened and shut repeatedly without damage, making it great for surviving airport security.
• Fabric can be squashed in shipping or suitcases without damage – no more book corners poking out of their wrapping.
• Busy moms with constant birthday parties to attend love them!
• "Lagniappe" is a word from Southern Louisiana that means a little extra gift. Its two syllables are pronounced like land (without the "d") and yap (like your neighbor's yapping dog).


Interesting Tidbits:

Kate McLaughlin got the idea for Lagniappe Gift Wrap from a former roommate whose mother made them back in the early 1970's to save money, as well as preserve the environment. Kate proceeded to make them by hand and so impressed her grandmother that she sent her home after the holidays with a 1946 Singer Featherweight sewing machine. Kate can still be found making bags on this sewing machine to this day! It was while completing her MBA at Babson College that the opportunity arose to develop a marketing plan for Lagniappe Gift Wrap. This quickly evolved into a business plan which she entered into the National (now Global) Social Venture Competition, and made the semi-finals. Thus, Lagniappe Gift Wrap was born!
