A Gift Wrapped Christmas

Gwen Burke works for Giftwrapped, which provides personal shopping services, with Christmas, this current season, their busiest time of year. Just like she does in her personal life for others, she tries to ensure that whatever purchases she makes for her clients are as personalized as possible - whether it be directly for the client or as a gift for someone else - which often means doing extensive research. With her colleague Anna off on maternity leave earlier than expected, Gwen takes over handling the company's most lucrative client, Charlie Baker, a "corner office" executive at Vistasun Equities. Charlie is a proverbial stuffed shirt, putting as little effort into the thought behind a purchase as someone like Gwen puts into it, including anything for himself, his closet-full of plain black and gray suits representative of how unadventurous he is. In trying to get over their antagonistic initial encounters seeing to his importance as a client, Gwen tries to discover why Charlie is as self-absorbed as he seems. What she discovers is that he is widowed for a few years, he having placed his energies into work probably due to the loss, with his now eight year old son, Owen, often collateral damage in not getting much of Charlie's time anymore. As Gwen tries to break through his veneer among things to bring him and Owen back together as a family unit, Charlie, in ultimately seeing the benefit of Gwen's personal touches, begins to see her in a different, more personal light. Their path to a personal relationship has an obstacle in the form of Victoria Dane, an emotionally cold business associate who sees her and Charlie's imminent path a walk down the aisle, arguably more to present themselves as a power business couple than loving husband and wife.
