Upcoming birthdays, name days, holidays or anniversaries are a great opportunity to give your loved ones unique gifts. Whether you choose a practical gift or something more sentimental, the right packaging can have a huge impact on the whole experience. Wrapping gifts in a creative way is not only great fun, but also a way to express your personality and create an unforgettable surprise. In this article, we will discover 15 inspiring ideas for decorating gift boxes that will work for any occasion.
Why is it worth wrapping gifts creatively?
Fifteen Ideas for Creatively Decorating Gift Boxes
1. Use string
Decorative boxes do not require additional closure or protection, but you can use linen, sisal or jute string for decoration. Regardless of your choice, the packaging will look elegant and minimalist, and will also appeal to people who value products made with respect for the environment.
2. The bow works wonders
Even the simplest gift box will look better if you decorate it with red bows. These can be single or multiple decorations, in different sizes - it all depends on your creativity. The effect will always be brilliant.
3. Don't skimp on ribbons
Ribbons are the quintessence of gift wrapping. If you like functional solutions, you will definitely like this idea. Reach for a thick ribbon in a contrasting color to the box . The packaging will look elegant and festive. Ribbons are available on the market in various colors and even with prints, so you will certainly be able to find a product tailored to the nature of the occasion.
4. Add tissue paper
Want your gift to look extra elegant? We recommend decorative, smooth tissue paper. It's a timeless accessory that's perfect for any occasion. There are monochromatic tissue papers, as well as those with interesting prints for those looking for bold combinations.
5. Go for natural decorations
Dried fruit, mistletoe or conifer twigs, gingerbread cookies - these are just a few examples of natural decorations that you can use to decorate a box . Place them inside the package or attach them to the surface of the lid. Regardless of your choice, you will certainly delight the recipient. You can complement the whole thing with sisal or jute string.
6. Fill the box beautifully
True beauty lies within. You can choose from unique decorative fillers such as sizzlepak, wiolina or skropak. Thanks to them, your gift will look incredibly impressive.
7. Don't forget the pendant
Sometimes a practical element can become a unique decoration, such as a pendant with the name of the person receiving the gift. This small piece of card with an inscription can be an interesting decoration if you make it yourself using cardboard, card stock, scissors, a hole punch and string.
8. Dry the flowers
Dried flowers are a natural decoration that will give your box a rustic feel. Dried roses, lilies of the valley, and carnations are all great options. Just remember to prepare them well in advance.
9. Use decorative paper
The gift box does not require additional wrapping in paper, but there is nothing stopping you from using beautiful paper patterns to decorate it. Just cut out a rectangle and stick it on the lid to get a unique gift package.
10. Make a pet
This idea will appeal not only to adults but especially to children. Paint eyes on a white box , glue a red nose and cut out ears (or horns) from brown paper, then attach them to the sides of the package. The effect will certainly delight!
11. Jingle bell, jingle bell
Christmas is coming? Then decorate a brown gift box with bells! Tie it with string and add one or more gold or silver bells.
12. Stick a photo
Want to personalize your gift packaging as much as possible? Print a photo of your loved one and stick it on the lid of the box. You can also decorate the packaging with a bow, ribbon or dried flowers.
13. Go wild with origami
Do you have some free time? Reach for origami paper and "conjure up" an original animal, boat or paper dress. Attach the model to the box with a bow or colored string.
14. Glitter madness
Even an ordinary cardboard box can look fabulous if you smear its lid and sides with glue and then sprinkle them with glitter. Remove excess shiny decoration, wait for the glue to dry and add a bow.
15. Use decorative raffia
Decorative raffia is a material that can be used as a ribbon, tape or filler. Thanks to the wide range of colors, it can be matched to any box.
