How to wrap a gift?

We are usually very particular about the gifts we choose for our relatives, friends, colleagues and business partners. But we don't always consider that the first thing the recipient sees and appreciates is the packaging, not the content of the gift. This justifies the need to think very carefully about how to wrap a gift in a stylish and aesthetic way.

How to wrap a gift in a light but stylish way?

If you want a gift to look solid, neat and without having to spend too much of your time on it, don't opt for gift paper - it requires a certain skill. Boxes and stylish bags are a lighter and prettier option. The latter are very wide-ranging, with a choice of shapes, designs, colours, sizes and prices.

Two things that matter when wrapping a gift

First, the packaging itself. It needs to be sturdy, of good quality, new and in keeping with the gift itself (whether it's a bottle, food, a small item, etc). For example, if the packaging is for a bottle, choose gift bags or boxes specifically designed for bottles. If you are packing a small accessory, adapt an elegant box, possibly with a transparent window. For a tasty gift, sturdy cardboard brown or white packaging, with a transparent window, is ideal. In this case, it is very important that the packaging is made of materials suitable for contact with food.
Secondly, materials to fill the empty cavity. Naturally, the packaging will be slightly larger than the contents. To keep the gift safe and stable inside, it is important to choose packaging materials that will fill the empty cavities in the packaging. For a presentable image, wood or paper shavings are ideal.

How to wrap gifts: what else is worth thinking about?

What is wrapping? It's not just the packaging itself, but also the process from the idea to the final result. In addition to the packaging itself, aspects such as the style of the packaging, the colours and the impression created are also important.
The style of the gift packaging can be minimalist (ideal for corporate gifts), romantic (for the other half), playful (for children's gifts) or other. Identify it even before you choose the packaging. Naturalness is very popular nowadays - kraft paper or other environmentally friendly materials, earthy colours, handmade accents are all suitable.
Colours are also important when considering gift wrapping - choose them according to the status of the recipient in relation to you and the occasion for which the gift is being given.
