Separate Wrapping and Embellishment Tasks

Separate the wrapping and ribbonizing, or embellishing, tasks. The two tasks use different tools and require different mental skills. Wrapping is rather tedious and requires a lot of space. Ribbonizing uses a load of different materials, does not need that much space and requires a creative vision. It is also easier to stack and store packages without bows on them if you don’t have a permanent stowage location assigned yet (like a tree).
