And it\u2019s not the first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/giftwrapcreations.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dallas Gift Wrap Creations<\/a> recently crafted packaging for a present for the pop superstar that showed some love for the Kansas City Chiefs, the National Football League team that includes Travis Kelce. And, as just about everyone knows, Swift has been dating the All-Pro receiver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201dIt was really fun,\u201d said Anita Ivancevic, CEO and founder of the local business. \u201cI did rewrap twice because I was not pleased with what, kind of, I came up with initially. I was like, \u2018We can do a little better.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">That passion to make gifts just right has driven Ivancevic since the founding of her company in 2016. Today, the business has around five to eight employees, depending on the season, and a shop full of high-quality paper and ribbons at the World Trade Center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/business\/economy\/2024\/11\/01\/texas-has-the-best-business-climate-in-the-country-according-to-these-rankings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in Dallas.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__YgCAW md_pb-9 md_mb-7 md_pt-9 md_mt-7 pb-6 mb-9 px-9 w-full h-64 bg-blue-light border-t border-b border-gray-light pt-6 mt-9\">\n<div class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__P1yIN inline-flex col-span-1 row-span-1 pb-4\">\n<div class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__vRSrF flex-auto w-full\">\n<p>D-FW Retail News<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__zWZy- mb-4\">The latest on retail openings, closings and trends in D-FW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<article id=\"related-story-embed-PIWJR475UVH7HBUDQQMW7F7TCM\" data-oembed-type=\"related-story\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__8iRXq block w-full inline-block my-2 p-7 bg-gray-lighter border border-gray-light ignore-body-text secondaryBold secondaryBold-7\"><label class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__dzAkK pr-3 text-blue-dark\">Related:<\/label><a class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__82BFj\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/business\/2024\/10\/16\/neiman-marcus-unveils-holiday-book-book-with-fantasy-gifts-topping-1-million\/\">Neiman Marcus unveils holiday book with fantasy gifts topping $1 million<\/a><\/article>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">It\u2019s a high-touch business, including offer pick up and delivery, on-site wrapping services, direct delivery of the wrapped gifts to recipients in Dallas-Fort Worth \u2014 and shipping out to clients beyond North Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The first time Ivancevic wrapped for Swift was last year. Tavia Hunt, wife of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/business\/2021\/02\/05\/dallas-billionaire-clark-hunt-could-turn-destiny-into-dynasty-with-back-to-back-super-bowl-wins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt<\/a>, had reached out and wanted help with gifts that included a Judith Leiber \u201cblinged out\u201d microphone-shaped clutch purse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The gifts went to Swift \u2013 and then Ivancevic later got a surprise when she checked a social media feed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201dThe fact that there\u2019s a picture of her holding our product is just something that I couldn\u2019t have planned for, prayed for, orchestrated,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was one of those things where I literally opened up Instagram and was like, \u2018Oh my gosh. Like, she\u2019s holding a box that has my logo on it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">That Insta post got a lot of \u201cbuzz,\u201d she said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dallasgiftwrapcreations\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adding that the company<\/a> has received many additional inquiries as well as new business over the last year. This year the request came in for a gift for the pop star and Brittany Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cFor me as the designer, it\u2019s always like, \u2018OK, well, how do we elevate the experience even more? How do we make it more special?,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAnd in this case, we did the Chiefs theme. So there are colors and everything, which was super fun to do, because I think we \u2026 just laid into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">It\u2019s a far cry from the time before the start of the company more than half a decade ago. The Brown University graduate was a real estate agent in 2016 and wasn\u2019t seeing a lot of traction after selling a house in August. The pressure was building as the holidays approached, and she brainstormed an idea to get some cash flow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">After mentioning the idea to a hairdresser, she had her first client before the end of the year. In 2017, she incorporated the business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201dWe\u2019ve been figuring it all out ever since,\u201d she said. \u201cAs a business owner, you\u2019re always learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Ivancevic has gift wrapped everything from lemon trees to antique sprinklers with her business \u2014 and there\u2019s definitely a global dimension. The company will receive gifts (via shipping) to be wrapped from clients outside of Dallas. Still, it\u2019s not just for big-named clients \u2013 and it can be for birthday parties or other events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Whatever the case, she says she tries to bring her design approach that she describes as elegant and sophisticated. Yet she also works with clients to be flexible, a \u201cblank canvas\u201d, be it a children\u2019s event or a corporate request, even as she makes the presentation in a way that keeps with her design approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">And that comes down to design choices most of us wouldn\u2019t contemplate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/2024\/01\/28\/ex-cowboys-qb-tony-romo-meets-with-taylor-swift-during-afc-championship-game-celebration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For the Swift<\/a> gift last year, she reached for a Swedish paper that had been around since the 1970s but is now discontinued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m going to continue doing what I love, day in and day out, and just see where the journey takes me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<article id=\"related-story-embed-2KQWXKJ2DFBONM77MMPL635EEU\" data-oembed-type=\"related-story\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__8iRXq block w-full inline-block my-2 p-7 bg-gray-lighter border border-gray-light ignore-body-text secondaryBold secondaryBold-7\"><label class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__dzAkK pr-3 text-blue-dark\">Related:<\/label><a class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__82BFj\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/business\/retail\/2024\/11\/08\/store-offering-beer-while-you-browse-opens-in-d-fw-relocates-headquarters\/\">Store offering beer while you browse opens in D-FW, relocates headquarters<\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/business\/retail\/2024\/11\/12\/taylor-swift-new-gift-dallas-wrapping-business-designs-the-pop-stars-present\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A North Texas business rethinking how gifts are wrapped is getting momentum from one of the biggest names in music today: Taylor Swift.
