Professional gift-wrapping service based in

North East England

Welcome to Forbes Finishings, where I wrap your gifts so you don't have to - giving you precious time back in your busy life.

I create beautiful, Instagram-worthy presents, host workshops so you can connect with your creative side and I show retailers how to boost their profits.

About Aoife, Founder of Forbes Finishings

I'm a Irish girl who lives by the sea in North East England. I've always adored ribbons, paper, colours, patterns and creating.

During a career break in 2024 my pal asked "what's your dream job" and I answered "to drive around in a customised ice-cream van wrapping people's presents". And it all started there!

I decided to switch careers from PR to paper and set up a professional gift wrapping service.
So now by doing what I love, I can help:

Exhausted, over whelmed people by wrapping all their presents super-fast for them
Connect and get people smiling with unique team building workshops
Show how to wrap sustainably with re-purposed paper and NO sellotape
Boost retailers' profits with training, demos and simple tricks
Facilitate memorable and mindful experiences for people to connect and create together

I'm friendly, fun and bring joy to my sessions and creations. I'm based in Whitley Bay but have a mobile service.
