Fran is fond of red, black and silver, and appreciates a bit of goth, so I was able to do this rather Gorey-ish style decoration. Despite the English text, the mylar wrapping is from Japan.

As I've mentioned in the past, I got a big bag of these flocked snowflake ornaments for 50 cents at the local thrift store; the mylar is scavenged from a prior gift (as are the other ribbons).

Cropped, because I clipped the lower right edge of the image, which I note is also showing the white box I used to prop the gift at an angle. Definitely one of my sloppier styling jobs.
