Making Christmas Gifts More Meaningful With Modish Wrapping

By Alaric Sowerby


Gifts to me are more meaningful anytime the giver invested some time to individually wrap it. It lets me know that the giver of the present not just remembered to put aside a little something for me but that they put in effort and energy to carefully wrap it. A properly wrapped treat is the result of a person providing not just a present but his originality and energy. All the effort makes a person feel appreciated and special. Sometimes it even feels as though the presentation is a lot more important compared to the gift.

This Yuletide season let us make our presents touch the hearts of our family members through the effort we place in wrapping them. One technique that a number of people employ to wrap gifts is to work with homemade paper. By utilizing brown package paper, several multi-colored ribbons, twine and or objects from the natural world like shells you can make a simple yet classy Holiday gift wrapper. Cover the gift in the usual manner. Finally, use multi-colored ribbons or affix decorative accents like holly sprigs by utilizing a thin wire.

Another ingenious way to add interest to your gifts is to use two(2) differently designed gift wrappers to cover it. You can cover half the gift with one particular design and the other half with a complementary design. Another way of using two distinct patterns is to first wrap your gift with a single solid colored paper. Then cut large sections from the other gift wrapper and tape it to create a pattern.

Using ribbons could also help make your gift shine and get noticed. Making big bows are simple, start by tying a regular ribbon. Tie another three bows around the knot of the initial ribbon then arrange the loops to face different directions to make an asterisk. If simpler designs are more to your liking then a uncomplicated ribbon on top of the present will be all you need.

A much more personal technique of gift wrapping is by rubber stamping the receiver's initials on ordinary paper or on a Christmas card attached to the present. The gift will look like someone had it monogrammed. It is also very inexpensive as you only need ink pads, alphabet rubber stamps and brown parcel paper. If you prefer over the top designs then covering the entire top of the container with ribbons rather than just one is a sure bet. Use tiny Christmas tree bulbs and glue them to the box. Form a star pattern with the bulbs using hot glue. A ribbon may then be attached to it. If the gift is not so big you can wrap them so they look like a candy cane. Find a paper towel tube and place the gift inside it. Cover the tubing in white colored tissue paper then wrap a red ribbon around it. Finish it off by covering the tube in Saran wrap.

Another way of wrapping gifts 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 if the item is really big like a bike, a great idea is to hide the item then wrap up the directions or map of where to find the item. When the gift box is opened a treasure hunt of sorts for the gift will begin.
