Fumbling for the Sellotape. A rip in your paper. Ribbon in a tangle?
If you need to up your gift-wrapping game, this one’s perfectly timed as November’s guest is the queen of finishing touches. Aoife (pronounced Eefa) Forbes from Forbes Finishings is holding a masterclass in how to elevate your presents.
Aoife’s featured in Ideal Home and has been consulted by Next on wrapping trends, so before you know it, we’re all gonna be pros. As well as showing us how to make our thoughtfully-curated gifts not look completely shit, Aoife is gonna tell us all about her change in career after twenty years and how she’s now living the dream and running her own gift wrapping and finishing touches service.
If you have an early Christmas present you’d like to expertly wrap, please feel free to bring it along. If not, don’t worry, as Aoife will supply you with everything you need. Plus, she’s bringing a little gift from the For the Love of the North for every guest to wrap as part of the ticket price.
As always, there’ll be a delectable array of cheeses and wine/non-alcoholic options.Better be quick and make sure you’re on the waiting list as we expect the tickets to be snapped up because who doesn’t want flawless folds?

Our meet-ups are inclusive and supportive spaces and we welcome anyone who’s creative (in whatever form that takes) to join us. We also recognise that our male allies can support our cause further by hearing the thoughts and opinions voiced at our get-togethers. We only ask that our guests respect the inclusive atmosphere and continue to engage in discussion and idea generation for the promotion and support of equal opportunities for female and non-binary identifying creatives.
