Packaging - Are you a sucker?

I am a self declared packaging sucker. I love buying items with cute packaging.. For some reason, cute & brightly colored packaged items always catch my eye and I appreciate the finest details. My friends call me a packaging sucker.. keke :) But to me that goes to show how important packaging is.

Besides checking out items with beautiful packaging, I love shopping for packaging supplies for my Etsy shop. They are just tons to choose from and sometimes you get so overwhelm that you forgot that you are running a business and you tend over shop.. *guilty as charged*

Recently one of my suppliers for my boxes has increased its price. In addition, I was told that it will take me 2 months before I will receive it and I have to buy for the items upfront. I was so ANNOYED! Thus I decided to revamp my packaging strategy... but to what?

Here are some of my favorites and thoughts.. My packaging may be a combination of some..

• Organza bags
• Colored / printed tissue paper
• Custom stickers
• Boxes (source for new suppliers)
• Ribbons (LOVE ribbons!)
  
• Source for other containers.. (e.g. tin cans, plastic containers)

If you were to buy jewelry, what would you love to see your pieces be packaged in?
