Personalize your Christmas gifts with an original gift wrapping idea
By now, you probably already have all the precious gifts in your possession. To avoid endless queues in stores, you've probably already skipped the " gift wrapping " step... Wrap your gifts as quickly as possible because it will soon be time to exchange them.
It's not too late to be original. There are many techniques to let your imagination run wild and make the gift truly personalized. Kraft paper, sickers, ribbons, tissue paper, … there is always a way to find inspiration on the internet.
Don't have any ideas or gift wrap at home? Here are some gift wrapping ideas that will prevent what is a real pleasure for some, from turning into a chore for you.
1. “Love” gift wrapping idea
Looking for a gift wrapping idea for your loved one but don't have much at home to personalize it? Try the "love" idea: if you have some red paper (or a red marker), you can transform brown paper into a "love" gift wrapping.
2. “Personalised” gift wrapping idea
Do you have so many gifts that you've lost track of who receives what? Are all your wrapping papers the same color? Personalize your gift wrapping by writing the recipient's name on newspaper. Using a craft knife or scissors, cut out the letters of your recipient's name and then glue them onto the gift wrapping.
3. “Nature” gift wrapping idea
Not a single piece of wrapping paper in sight at home and the time is approaching… Do you have a sheet or two of printer paper, a piece of string, and a garden? Here's what " MacGyver " would do to save face in this Christmas situation.
4. “Newsprint” gift wrapping idea
If MacGyver couldn't save you in gift-wrapping idea number 3 because you didn't have a printer (or no more paper in it), you probably have some newsprint at home. Why not create pocket packaging out of newspaper and draw a dragonfly on it?
5. “Special man” gift wrapping idea
Do you have a gift for a man, do you have some color sheets at home? Why not personalize your man's gift wrap with some cool and original cutouts?
