Chicago · by appointment
Quiet parcels for a full house.
Solenne is a wrapping room in the West Loop. You bring the gifts. We dress them for the people coming through your door — a dinner, a birthday, a wedding weekend, a baby brunch, or the long week in December.
For the host
The table is held for you.
This is not a shop counter. A visit is usually ninety minutes. A long morning covers a whole guest list. You do not stand and watch unless you want to.
Tell us who each parcel is for. We write the card in ink, spell the names back to you, and have everything ready before the first guest arrives. If a gift is for a child, say so. The paper stays calm, and the card is easy to read aloud.
The room itself is one long table, two people, and a short shelf of paper.
Occasions
Any hour the house fills.
-
01
Dinner at home
Host gifts and a few parcels for the people who never arrive empty-handed.
-
02
A birthday
One parcel with a little more presence. The rest stay quiet, so the day still belongs to one person.
-
03
Wedding weekend
Welcome notes in your colors. Matched, not identical.
-
04
Baby brunch
Soft paper, no glitter, names checked twice before the card is written.
-
05
December
The week of the twentieth books out in October. Winter is one chapter here, not the whole room.
Leave
Bring the gifts unwrapped, with a line on who each one is for. Or send them the day before.
Collect
Paper, ribbon, and card. Nothing left for you to finish in the kitchen.
Nothing on the table should shout over the person who brought it. House rule
