5 gift wrapping tips

When we buy a gift for a special occasion, we often don't think about how we want to wrap it. But the wrapping is almost as important, because beautiful packaging brings even more joy to the recipient. Imagine the huge grin on the recipient's face when they hold your surprise in their hands. Of course, there are many ways to wrap a gift even more beautifully. Read our 5 tips on how to wrap a gift even more beautifully here.

Tip 1: start with beautiful wrapping paper

Do you often fail to wrap the gift nicely and the bows and decorations tend to hang on the gift rather than next to it? Then choose a unique, personalised wrapping paper. Personalise this special wrapping paper with a photo and a great design. Super practical, because you no longer need gift cards. Extra tip: if you have a gift with difficult shapes, it is often even more difficult to wrap the gift nicely. To make it easier for you, it's best to put the gift in a box first so that it's easier to wrap. Design your own wrapping paper with a photo >>>

Tip 2: original extras

Choosing a suitable card is a task in itself. What should be written on the card? Is it nicer to write something on the card yourself and perhaps a handwritten message is much more personal? How about giving your gift that little bit extra? After all, there are plenty of ways to make the gift even more beautiful. For example, design a few retro photos and attach them to the gift with a string. If you want to have several retro photos printed, you can also add them to the gift and attach them to the gift with washi tape. The great retro photos are sure to bring back great memories for everyone. Design your own retro photos now>>>

Tip 3: don't forget the card!

Of course, a card should not be missing from a gift. With a card, you can show the recipient how much he or she means to you. You shouldn't underestimate the feeling that a handwritten card brings. Not only the words are important, but also the way these words are delivered. If you put so much love into wrapping the gift, why not put just as much love into writing a lovely message? Extra tip: choose a beautiful design with a photo of a shared memory. Something that can explain your friendship or relationship in a photo. Design your personalised card >>>

Tip 4: let your imagination run wild!

Surprising someone is always great. So let your imagination run wild. A gift doesn't always have to be wrapped in wrapping paper. Everyday objects that you still have lying around somewhere unused are also ideal. Think of a piece of fabric, for example, which can also work perfectly as wrapping paper. You could also wrap the gift in newspaper. Then you should definitely decorate it with original decorations. There are bound to be a few buttons, bows or other small objects around the house that no longer have a use. We're sure you can make something really special with these.

Tip 5: take your time

When you wrap your surprise, the time you take for it is important. The more time you take, the more beautiful your gift will be in the end. So don't be in a hurry!

Other practical tips for a perfectly wrapped gift

If you are still in doubt about how to wrap your gift perfectly, you should consider the following things.

1. Remove the price: this step actually speaks for itself, but believe us, it is often enough forgotten. It would be stupid if the gift comes from the sale and is still written in capital letters on the gift. This is a situation that should be avoided.
2. Don't use too much tape: there are plenty of other ways to hold the gift together without using too much tape. If you use too much tape, the gift may not look as nice as you might have imagined.
3. The perfect amount of paper: you should use the right amount of paper when wrapping the gift. If you use too much paper, you may end up with too much paper piling up on the sides. And too little... Yes, of course you can think about that yourself. Measure the wrapping paper beforehand so that you can be sure that there is not too much wrapping paper.
