Gift Wrapping Recommendations For Everybody

By Alaric Sowerby


Presents to me become more heart-felt whenever the giver invested some time to personally wrap it. It lets me know that the giver of the gift not just remembered to set aside something for me but that they devoted effort and energy to painstakingly wrap it. A well wrapped treat is the result of an individual giving not only a present but his creativity as well as vitality. All the effort makes a person truly feel loved and special. Sometimes it even feels as though the presentation is a lot more significant than the gift.

This Christmas season let us make our presents touch the hearts of our family members through the effort we devote to gift wrapping them. One technique that a number of people use to wrap treats is to make use of handmade paper. By making use of brown parcel paper, several multi-colored ribbons, twine and even objects from nature like shells you can create a simple but classy Christmas gift wrapper. Wrap the present as you normally would. Next, work with colorful ribbons or affix ornamental accents like holly sprigs by utilizing a thin wire.

Another clever way to add interest to your gifts is by using two differently designed wrappers to cover it. You can wrap half the present with one particular design and the other half using a complementary design. Another way of utilizing two distinct patterns is to first wrap your gift with one solid colored paper. Then cut large pieces from the other gift wrapper and tape it to create a design.

Making use of ribbons could also make your gift shine and get noticed. Creating big bows are simple, start by tying a regular ribbon. Tie another three(3) bows around the knot of the first ribbon after that arrange the loops to face various directions to create an asterisk. If simpler styles are more to your liking then a uncomplicated ribbon on top of the gift will be all you need.

A more personal technique of wrapping a gift is by stamping the receiver's initials on ordinary paper or on a Christmas card attached to the present. The present will seem like somebody had it monogrammed. It is likewise very economical because you only need ink pads, alphabet rubberized stamps and brown package paper. If you like over the top styles then covering the entire top of the container with ribbons rather than just one is a sure bet. Use tiny Christmas tree light bulbs and glue them to the box. Create a star shape with the bulbs using glue. A ribbon can then be fastened to it. If the gift is small you can wrap them so they resemble a candy cane. Find a paper towel cylinder and place the items inside it. Cover the tubing in white tissue paper then wrap a red bow around it. Finish it off by wrapping the tube in Saran wrap.

Another method of wrapping presents is by using a gift bag or sack. It's quite simple as all you have to do is choose the correct design and size one would like and then simply place the gift inside.

Last but not the least in the event the gift is really large like a bike, a great concept is to hide the item then wrap up the directions or map of how to locate the item. When the gift box is opened a treasure hunt of sorts for the item will then start.
