Whenever there is a gift giving occasion, many people spend a lot of time choosing exactly the right gift for the recipient and the occasion. They stress over what they might like and how much they should spend. After much worry, planning and shopping, a gift is finally chosen and brought home, ready to be given to the honouree. It is then that it hits you that you now need to wrap the present. Sometimes this process can be even more stressful than the act of considering and picking out the ideal gift! However, there are several tips you can employ for simple and effective gift packaging that will take the stress out of wrapping.
Choose your Package
You can give a gift in several ways. The gift bag is an easy and convenient way to wrap a present and it is often a quick solution for those who are uncomfortable with the process of wrapping, taping and affixing a bow. A gift bag is also a great way to make odd shaped gifts more attractive and appealing to the recipient. A pre decorated, colourful box set, is another way to package a gift item. This is ideal for clothing, food items or wine. You can pair it with a matching bow. Decorative baskets or tins that are shrink wrapped, or wrapped with cellophane or tissue paper, are elegant choices and ideal for home items, kitchen gadgets, baby gifts and food.
Then, of course you have your traditional wrapping and bow combination that is appropriate for any occasion.
Make it Attractive
In order to create simple and effective gift packaging you need to know how to make it look attractive and appealing. It is not difficult and with a little care and imagination you can make it look perfect. First, gather all the supplies you need so you are not trying to juggle everything at once then get to work:
Gift bags - Make sure you line the bottom with some crumpled tissue paper then nestle the gift in the bottom. Take a single sheet of corresponding colour of tissue paper that matches the bag decor and pinch it in the middle. Shake it gently so that it folds naturally and place it as far as it can go in the bag while leaving a few inches of exposed tissue paper at the top. Repeat this process with the next tissue paper placed next to it, until the top of the bag is filled. You can use a solid colour or alternate different corresponding colours. Use several strands of curling ribbon to tie the bag handles closed, then curl the ribbon for an attractive finish.
Box Sets - These handy items are perfect for anyone who is nervous about even the slightest bit of decorating. It is best to line the box with tissue paper, nest the gift in the box, and then cover it up. Close the box and then use a ribbon or tie to make a decorative bow.
Baskets and Tins - These are ideal for showcasing sets of smaller, related items. Use dome filler in the bottom, and then arrange all the items attractively to fill the space. If you have shrink-wrap available, you can use that and add a bow to the top. Or you can use tissue paper or cellophane, gathering the ends and typing it with curling ribbon or a bow.
Wrapping - Using traditional wrapping paper is the most common gift packaging available. Paper comes in many themes and you are limited only by your imagination. You can even use newspaper or comic strips for a unique change. Wrap carefully and fold precisely, taping as you go to ensure it is secure. Top with ribbons or a bow.
