COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- For one Colorado woman, her idea of making gift wrapping simpler came to her in a dream.

"I'd been trying to think of a way to attach my handmade wooden ornaments to packages," Liz Mrofka said. "And then one night, at 2:22 in the morning, I jumped out of bed and had my idea in place."

Mrofka is talking about The Fobbie - a square-shaped piece of recycled material that has 8 slots (2 on each side) that allows the user to run ribbon through each slot to create an artful way of decorating her packages.

"What's great about The Fobbie is that you can use it on oddly-shaped presents, like wine bottles or round containers," she said. Mrofka has also branched out from the Christmas line to included Fobbies for multiple occassions (like birthdays and weddings) and some do-it-yourself Fobbies, including ones that hold pictures.

Mrofka stopped by the FOX21 Morning News to show how easy it is to use.
