Gift wrap & tags – Ichthus fish – Teal

Gift wrap & tags - Ichthus fish - Teal This pack of Gift wrap & tags - Ichthus fish - Teal is ideal to wrap up a present of a Christian book. The Ichthus symbol resembles the profile of a fish, drawn as two intersecting arcs.  The initials of the Greek words 'Jesus Christ Son of God Saviour' make up an acrostic which spells the Greek word for fish.  In times of persecution, early  Greek speaking Christians used this secret symbol to identify themselves to other believers.  It has been said that when a Christian met someone that they didn't know, they would draw one arc of the fish symbol on the ground.  If the other person completed the symbol with the other arc, it indicated that they were both Christians.  In the 1970s, this symbol was revived. On the wrap, the background is a pale teal / green, and the Ichthus or fish symbol is in a similar but darker shade.  The tags also have the paler background and a single darker Ichthus symbol. Inside the pack you will find two sheets of high quality wrapping paper and two coordinating gift tags.  The wrapping paper is a good weight at 90 gsm and has a discreet sheen without being glossy, as have the gift tags.  The individual sheets of paper are 50.0 cms wide by 70.0 cms long.  The tags are 7.9 cms wide by 5.9 cms high.  It is important to me that both the paper and the card are completely recyclable at your local recycling depot, as they have no plastic coating, glitter or anything else that would prevent them from being accepted for recycling. Whichever book you choose to give to your friend or relative, this beautiful wrap will enhance your gift. Alternatively I offer a Gift wrapping service, with a choice of four designs.  However this design is not one of those offered.  Gift wrapping can be chosen at Checkout, where you can also specify a greeting to be handwritten on the tag.  But please note that if you choose this service, you do NOT also need to order a pack of Gift wrap & tags, as the wrap and a tag are included in the Gift Wrapping service. At Checkout, you can also choose to have your gift delivered directly to your friend or relative, whether or not you choose our Gift wrapping service. Each gift wrap sheet comes folded to 17.5 cms wide and 25.0 cms high.  The sheets and tags come packed in cellophane.  Unfortunately cellophane is not generally recyclable, but it does keep the gift wrap & tags pristine.  The price includes standard rate VAT. When you select this product, your purchase supports an international charity working with people affected by leprosy, about which you can read by clicking here.
