Gift packaging is more than using decorative paper to cover a gift or tossing a gift in a decorative bag. Gift wrapping is a garnish on your gift, and it can be just as important as the gift itself. Your choice of packaging says so much about the gift that if you have the wrong packaging, it can diminish the quality of the gift. Let’s talk about the importance of gift packaging.

 

Why gift packaging is so important

 

It may not seem like it, but packaging can make or break a gift. The right packaging can add excitement and anticipation. It can also make the gift recipient feel even more special. Quality gift packaging can add an additional dimension to your gift, turning the packaging into part of the experience.

 

However, sloppy wrapping can have the opposite effect. A gift that is simply tossed in a bag or hastily wrapped also says something about the gift. To someone who takes gift-giving seriously, a hastily wrapped gift can feel like an insult, even if that’s not the intention. Luckily, even if you are terrible at wrapping gifts, you can still make your gift packaging special and unique.

 

For smaller gifts, you can use paper rolls to create a pillow box for your gift. You can wrap gifts with a scarf, turning one gift into two. If you like the look of gift bags, you can make your own with a little paint and a brown paper bag. Finally, if you are giving multiple gifts at once, you may consider a gift box for everything. Woodchuck USA has quality wooden gift boxes in several sizes. The best part about gift boxes is that once the gift has been received, the box can be used for something else.

 

It's tempting to see gift packaging as not as important as the gift itself, but the way you choose to package your gift says a lot. There are many ways to package a gift, from making your own wrapping paper to purchasing wooden boxes. Regardless of what you choose, as long as you keep your gift recipient in mind, your packaging will be perfect.
