For someone who dips into their pompom stash every other day, I really ought to figure out how to spell the name.
Pompom? Pom-poms? Pom Poms?
Last week I got an email from a guy named “Christopher” wanting to buy ad space on my blog for a Chinese company that sells commercial grade pipe parts. “I think it will be a great fit for your audience and will drive many traffics to your site!” then signed it “Kristopher.”
I’m guessing his real name wasn’t Christopher/Kristopher, but he probably did that to convenience me and my lack of Mandarin. Pompoms/Pom-poms/Pom Poms don’t allow me that excuse, so I’m going to need an authority to weigh in on this (anyone know a cheerleader?). Until then, I’m keeping it squat and using one word: pompoms. Lower case? Uppercase? Damn this is hard.
Okay. Anyway. Those fluffy things — they make for good gift wrapping.
Late spring seems to be a popular time for gift giving. I like to dress up the box (especially if I’m feeling unsure about the gift inside). It’s amazing what a plain box and a little hot glue can do.
This little one is my favorite. I made it thinking I’d give it away but now it lives here. It likes me. I pet it and feed it sometimes.
For you! Who knew pompoms and leopard would look so good together?
Oh yeah. Leopard looks good with everything.
Even Christopher/Kristopher knew that.

Historically, it’s pompon. But nobody writes it like that.

I had a feeling it was one word! Okay. Well, as a former teacher I cast you as having authority on the final word. Pompom it is!

Whoooo, FAN-CEE! These are definitely the fanciest 3-D giftwrap boxes I’ve ever seen. And with so many colors available, the combinations are infinite! You could custom pompom-ize a box to complement the gift inside, and everyone would impressed beyond words. I like this idea and will have to use it.

The word was originally pompon, with an “n.” It was French, oui oui! But since everyone now says and writes it “pompom” with an “m,” it’s accepted that way. But regardless, n or m, it’s one word, no hyphen.

Turns out it might be pompon (with an N). https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100906182651AAG6vKa

The pom pom (that’s how I do it) box looks like a little furry animal that needs a cuddle! Love it!

I love the full coverage pompom box! What do they eat, btw? Because a quiet, low maintenance, brightly colored pet sounds like just the thing!
