How to create beautiful Christmas gift wrapping ?

Original gift-wrap ideas

Once you’ve chosen the perfect gift in a shop or at a Christmas market, wrapping it becomes an equally special moment! While some shops offer ready-made gift bags or will wrap your present for you, there is something truly satisfying about covering your chosen gift with beautiful paper. Of course, if you’ve been very generous this year, the task may take a little more time and organisation!

To switch things up from the classic gift wrap with bold – and sometimes rather kitsch – patterns and shiny ribbon, consider using kraft paper! Available all year round in the stationery section, kraft paper gives your gifts a charmingly authentic look. Finished with natural raffia or a red-and-white twine, your parcel will certainly stand out!

A trend spotted on Pinterest: kraft wrapping decorated with natural elements. Add a delicate sprig of fir, a piece of holly or a small pine cone on top – these little details will elevate your presents beautifully!

You can also personalise your kraft-wrapped gifts with small stamps featuring dainty motifs such as Christmas trees, reindeer or snowflakes. A label with the recipient’s name will add a perfectly tailored finishing touch.

To complete your gift, why not attach a little treat to the wrapping?
A lollipop, a candy cane or even a cinnamon biscuit — your recipient won’t be able to resist this sweet extra gesture!
