Ideas to get the Most Out of Your Gifts

Gift wrapping paper comes in many different styles and designs. Gift wrapping paper designed for special occasions is also available. Paper for wrapping Christmas gifts , wedding gifts or birthday gifts usually has the appropriate message on it, for instance Happy Birthday, with pictures appropriate to the occasion. For instance wedding gift wrap will have wedding bells on it.

For gifts that are going to be sent by post, or that are fragile, it may be worth considering using some extra packaging. Wrapping gifts in tissue paper before wrapping them in gift wrap paper is one option. Another idea would be to put the gift in a gift box with straw or bubble wrap and then wrap the box in gift wrapping paper. A gift box can help protect breakable gifts.

For the more environmentally friendly, consider recycling gift wrap. People with many children may want to reuse wrapping paper rather than buying new gift paper each time. Another interesting gift wrap idea would be to make your own. Home made gift wrapping paper can be personalized for the recipient. Use some plain paper and then paint your own design on it with the recipient's name. Personalized gift wrap will make the person receiving the gift feel special and allows those with artistic talents to be creative. You can buy wrapping paper made out of recycled paper.

Gift wrap boxes, cards and ribbon

Gifts that are an awkward shape, or that are fragile, can be put in a gift box before wrapping. Usually gifts are wrapped in paper and then the ends of the paper are taped down. Ribbon can be used to fasten the gift. Gift wrap ribbon comes in different colours and can be bright and shiny, or plain. Fasten the ribbon firmly and tie it in a bow. Running a knife or scissor edge along one side of the end of the ribbon makes it go curly. Gift wrap cards or gift tags can be used to write a greeting to the recipient and then these can be taped to the gift to allow the recipient to identify who the gift was from.

Gift wrap organizers and storage

Gift wrap organizers are really useful if you have a large family and always have birthdays coming up. Gift wrap organizers are brilliant for storing rolls of wrapping paper. You can buy upright heavy-duty plastic containers with separate compartments for storing scissors, tape, gift tags and ribbon. Canvas gift wrap storage which hangs in your closet is also available - these divide into compartments for organizing your gift wrap, and can be folded up and put away when not in use. They also have smaller pockets for storing bows, ribbon and tape.
