Jane was a pleasure to work with, bringing her signature skills and trademark positivity to our live shopping episodes. We were over the moon with the content - Jane's engaging expertise really created the festive magic we were hoping for. We look forward to working together again in the future!

I recently completed the in person course with Jane and I just wanted to say a big thank you.
I had the most enjoyable day, I wasn't sure what to expect but Jane was brilliant. She was patient and so personable, I learnt so much and would highly recommend this course to everyone.

Dorienne

Thank you so much for a terrific present wrapping workshop today. It was so inspiring and just brilliant from start to finish. Lunch in the conservatory was a delicious and unexpected bonus too.

I have always enjoyed wrapping presents in a completely amateurish way, but today I feel like I have learnt new skills, that take it to a whole new level.

What a great day. Thank you.

Please could you pass on my thanks to Jane for a super day last Saturday in Rutland. I thoroughly enjoyed the course…and I am endeavouring to remember all her clever tips and ideas!! It was very therapeutic after such a difficult few years.

inspiration and enthusiasm made for a wonderful day.

I took one of Jane's Gift Wrapping courses some years ago. It was fun and I was most impressed with Jane's professionalism and warmth.

I learnt a lot of tricks and tips and no doubt Jane's courses have greatly evolved in the meantime.

Many many thanks for a wonderful day at Burghley House on your gift wrapping course! Emma and myself have a lovely day and have already put our wrapping techniques to use, with much admiration from the recipients. We would recommend your course for anyone who wants to learn how to wrap a present in a truly professional way.

Just wanted to thank you for a top course yesterday, I learnt so much. I loved the London venue, structure & content of the course and thought going out for lunch a much nicer idea than boring old sandwiches

Just wanted to say thank you Jane for a super course today in Manchester. We really enjoyed it

Christine Chesham

Great venue, Easy parking, Brilliant course, Lovely ladies, Great fun, Well done!

Jane Jordan

For me it was less of a simple enjoyable day out but more about learning something that will be a skill for life - in other words birthdays and Christmases come around every year and in terms of investment this is a gift that goes on giving. We have both learnt a skill that we can use over and over again for the rest of our lives. We now can't wait to get wrapping!!

I just wanted to feed back how much I enjoyed the course last Thursday.

I came away with so much. I am so looking forward to putting it all into practice. I was so proud to show off my creations when I got home
My certificate will take pride of place!

The pace was good, the venue was good. The group really got on well and the day flowed brilliantly. I felt well looked after and the food and venue for lunch, well what can I say...amazing!

Zoom Classes

The course was full of fantastic ideas, and Jane is a wonderful teacher. She has an abundance of patience and has an innate ability to put the pupil at ease and help and support every minute of the training.

It was such fun and I learnt many simple but effective ways of making a gift look fabulous.

I can’t recommend this highly enough. Thank you Jane and I can’t wait to join you on the next one.

Thank you for the most enjoyable Awkward Shapes Zoom class on Saturday afternoon. The session went by so quickly and I look forward to trying to put into practice the expert tips that I received from you, in my future gift giving.
Olive, NI

A quick note to say a huge THANK YOU for your time tonight. I have already received a bunch of appreciative emails, people were absolutely fascinated by your skill and techniques and everyone is planning their practice sessions while watching Hallmark Christmas movies so they feel their fold but don’t look!! I am sure our Secret Santa will be elevated to a new level this year!

I appreciate we were at the end of a long day but you came across brilliantly and very human which is reassuring when you are a ninja level wrapper… still a farmer’s daughter😊 I know you said patience is important when wrapping, but when it extends to your patience with our rural rabble then it really made for a brilliant evening.

Jess, New Look

"Jane I can’t thank you enough . You are the loveliest woman I’ve ever met and a talent at what you do. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your services"

Anouska, Olivanna

"Dear Jane, thank you so very much for the gift wrapping. I really appreciate that you were able to come all the way to Singapore from the UK and provide an exceptionally beautiful and artistic gift wrapping! The pleats on the wrapping were a really nice touch. The double ribbons that you tied also looked very pretty. I want to specifically mention that even though the camel bone box that you wrapped was much slimmer than the usual gifts, but you wrapped it very beautifully and that shows your talented and inventive gift wrapping.

The person for whom the gifts were intended liked the wrapping so much that she didn't want to open the wrapping for several days! Even though I got late to reach you on the day of the wrapping, thank you for your understanding and accommodating your schedule.
Look forward to getting a lot of gifts wrapped by you in the future"

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help yesterday. I know it wasn’t the smoothest of operations but we got there in the end and the client was very pleased so thank you again.

Look forward to working together again in the future.
