As a child, wrapping paper was just another barrier between you and the gift. As an adult your design sensibilities developed and it became more important. You put as much effort into selecting the right wrapping as you did the gift. Well if only you could get your hands on this one. Manchester’s creative director, Peter Saville, was recently asked by the city to design a wrapping paper for the holidays. Only 5000 tubes were produced each containing two 1 meter x 70 cm sheets retailing for £2.99. They went on sale a couple of days and are already sold out on Visit Manchester’s website.
