ONCE the Christmas presents are bought, actually wrapping them can be a real chore - but not for Gary Davies and Cheryl-Ann Taylor.

They have turned their talent for parcelling gifts into their own wrapping service, the Design Farm.

The couple, from Levisham, near Pickering, wrap presents for between £1.50 and £5.50 a gift, offering a variety of wrapping papers and handmade gift tags.

The gifts are collected, wrapped and returned on the same day and, instead of using lots of sticky tape, they wrap them up like corsets, decorated with stamps of stars, snowflakes or Christmas trees.

"We're both really creative and we thought we would give it a whirl," said Cheryl-Ann, 23.

"We want to set up our own business soon and so we need to have fingers in lots of pies."
