The Importance of Gift Wrapping & How To Elevate Yours

When it comes to gift giving, buying the perfect gift is not always enough.  While some may think great gifts do not require beautiful packaging, gift wrapping paper serves as the finishing touch all gifts need!

Gift wrapping is not just about covering a present in decorative paper, it is about going one step further to show you care.  Wrapping paper adds another dimension to gift giving and serves as the final flourish that completes a nice gift!

For the person giving the present, the wrapping paper is indicative of a deeper level of care and attention to detail.  For the recipient, it adds to the excitement and anticipation of discovering what is inside the package.

So how can you make your gifts stand out?  Here are some tips to help you achieve that “Wow Factor!” and make your gifts extra special!

• Select a high-quality paper that is thick enough to withstand folding and creasing without tearing.
• Choose a design that complements your present or the theme of the event!  For example, wedding presents may be wrapped in white, silver, gold, or a color that matches the wedding colors (Pro Tip: Use the wedding invitation as the inspiration for your gift wrapping paper theme and your present is sure to stand out!).  For birthdays, opt for a festive birthday aesthetic.  For baby showers and graduations, use the occasion as the inspiration for your wrapping paper!
• Further elevate your gift giving by creating a custom designed gift wrapping paper for the event or occasion! 
• For oddly shaped packages or loose items, use a large, symmetrical box to ensure you have clean corners.
• Use clear, invisible tape or double-sided tape so your paper appears more uniform and the paper design is not interrupted by unsightly tape.
• Add a final touch!  A thick ribbon of either a contrasting or complimentary color is always an elegant choice.  Photos, ornaments, or small figurines or toys are also a fun option!  For example, on wedding presents consider adding a photo of the couple, mini wedding rings, or mini champagne flutes.  For birthday gifts, consider adding a fun photo of the birthday boy/birthday girl, a small car, doll, dinosaur, princess crown, or figurine that matches the gift or the recipient’s interests.  For baby shower gifts, add a small rattle or stuffed animal.  Get creative!  The options are virtually endless. 
• Finish your present by adding a complementary card with a personalized message for the recipient.
