How to Wrap Christmas Presents with Style
The Christmas period is all about spreading joy, and there’s no better way to do that than with beautifully wrapped gifts that reflect thought and care. At our stores, we love blending home aesthetics with festive cheer, so let us guide you on creating the most exquisitely presented gifts using clever wrapping techniques, ribbons, and a dash of creativity.
1. Choose Wrapping Paper That Matches Your Home’s Christmas Theme
Coordinate your wrapping paper with your home’s festive décor for a cohesive look. For a classic Christmas, opt for reds, greens, and golds. For a modern vibe, metallic silvers, whites, and even pastel tones can add elegance. Textured or patterned papers like plaid or snowflakes also work beautifully and give gifts an extra touch of luxury.
2. Layer Wrapping Papers for Dimension
Use two complementary wrapping papers on a single gift. Wrap the gift in one paper and create a wide band with the second. This layering effect adds sophistication and helps smaller gifts stand out.
3. Incorporate Furniture Store Finds
Add unique embellishments that nod to your love for home styling. Small ornaments, faux greenery, or leftover fabric swatches from furniture projects make excellent accents. Tie them to your gift for a chic, personalised touch.
4. Use Ribbon Creatively
Ribbons aren’t just for tying bows! Create cascading ribbon curls by running scissors along the edges of curling ribbon. For a minimalist look, wrap satin or velvet ribbon around the gift, finishing with a simple knot or bow. Mixing ribbon textures like pairing a burlap ribbon with lace adds depth and intrigue.
5. Add a Personal Touch
Handwritten tags or calligraphy labels elevate any present. Write the recipient's name on a sturdy tag or craft your own from scrap cardboard, painting or decorating it to match your gift wrap.
6. Embrace Nature’s Elements
Nature-inspired accents can make your wrapping stand out. Pinecones, sprigs of rosemary, or cinnamon sticks add a festive aroma and rustic charm. Secure these with twine or a narrow ribbon for a natural yet refined look.
7. Think Outside the Box
For oddly shaped gifts, skip the traditional wrap and opt for gift bags or fabric wraps. Japanese Furoshiki cloth wrapping is an eco-friendly option that looks stunning and reusable.
8. Make It Shine
A touch of sparkle can make your gift unforgettable. Add metallic foil stickers, glittery ribbon, or a tiny bell for a magical touch.
This holiday season, let your presents reflect your love for style and home. With these tips, every gift you give will be as much a delight to look at as it is to open.
