According to a U.S. Census Bureau
report (August 14, 2008), America will be even more racially and ethnically diverse by 2042, with the Hispanic population nearly tripling to more
than 132 million and the Asian population climbing from 15 to 41 million. With
the growth of a diverse ethnic landscape comes the blending of cultural traditions;
and for many native- and foreign-born Americans of different ethnicities,
preserving and passing down their own cultural heritage is deeply important. Holiday
gift-giving occasions provide a perfect opportunity to celebrate ethnic pride
and share cherished holiday and family traditions. Newly-launched Global Gift
Wrap is the first company to make high-quality gift wrap with unique, culturally-relevant designs available nationwide to consumers.
