Christmas gift wrap, painted by hand

Some wrapping paper is forgotten by morning. This is the kind you save.

Every design in the Christmas Heirloom collection began as an original Claire Jordan painting — Nutcracker, Christmas Truck, Candy Tree, and Santa. Four small nostalgic scenes, painted in acrylic in her Birmingham studio, then printed on substantial 70 lb paper that begs to be torn into slowly.

This is Christmas gift wrap for the people who iron the paper flat afterward. For the grandmother who photographs the tree before anyone wakes. For anyone who believes the outside of a gift should feel as considered as what's inside — unique Christmas wrapping paper that doesn't look like everyone else's.

The details:

• Sets of 4, 12, or 20 sheets, from $28

• Each sheet 20" × 29" — big enough for the awkward shapes

• Heavyweight opaque paper; arrives rolled, never folded

• Presented in oatmeal tissue with ivory satin ribbon

• Shipping from $5.95 — order by December 10 for Christmas delivery
