Welcome to The Business Beat.

Professional gift wrapper and more!

Isn't it great when you buy something and they wrap it for you? All you have to do is stick a nametag on it and pretend that you did it yourself. How would you like someone to come to your house and wrap all of your gifts? Her name is Hillary Flood and she's not only a professional gift wrapper with extensive experience but she'll do your shopping as well. Hillary's business is called Wrap It Up. Just give her your list and she'll check it twice. Hillary hopes to make this a year-round service for birthdays and special occasions. You can contact her at (705) 745-0232 or email.
