The holiday season is the perfect time to get creative with your gift wrapping, so instead of sticking to traditional wrapping paper, why not make your gifts even more special with unique and fun ideas?
From adding jingle bells for a festive sound to personalising your presents with DIY touches, polaroids, wooden tags, and even shaped wrapping, there are endless ways to make your gifts stand out. Let's explore some creative gift-wrapping ideas that will make them want to keep the wrapping as much as the gift!
1. Polaroids as Gift Tags
Make your gifts more special this year by adding your personal touch!
Our first idea is swapping out traditional gift tags for Polaroid photos! Use Polaroid snapshots to capture precious memories, and let the image be a creative tag that doubles in meaning.
Also, write a heartfelt message or a fun note on the back of the Polaroid to add a thoughtful touch. Unlike standard tags, Polaroids make your wrapping unforgettable while turning a simple gift into a meaningful one.
If you don't have an instant camera or it's not in your budget, no worries—explore our unique collection of festive gift tags!
2. Add Bells!
Did you know you can bring your gifts to life with the cheerful jingle of bells?
Adding Metallic bells to your gift wrapping isn’t just stylish—it’s an interactive experience. Imagine the joy on their faces as they hear the delightful sound of festive jingles before even unwrapping their surprise.
These tiny bells add cheer and personality, turning your presents into a bundle of joy.
3. Embellish with Wood Veneer
For rustic-looking gift wrap, we can attach wooden tags with twine or ribbon to add a natural and eco-friendly touch to our festive presents.
These wood tags can be engraved with messages or decorated with festive designs, giving your gifts a personalized and vintage look.
Here are some wooden gift tag options:
4. Add a DIY Touch
Give your gift-wrapping a creative and special twist by adding your own DIY touches with festive decorations!
Personalize your presents by adding stuff that you handmade, for example, you can make your own Elf using the Creative Elf DIY kit and add it to your gift wrap. Also, check out our Candy Cane make-it-yourself mini kit, which adds a delicious touch of fun to your gift wrap, or the snowman DIY kit to make your gift a bit snowy!
These cute, handcrafted touches can be attached to your wrapping or tied with a festive bow to each gift. Let your creativity shine this season!
5. Shaped Gift!
Who needs a bow when you’ve got creativity?
Transform your gift wrap into shaped ones like a snowman, Santa, Grinch, or even a reindeer!
Use markers to draw fun eyes or get extra creative with a kit that includes eyes, nose, and cheeks like the Creative Christmas Decoration Kit. For the perfect detailing, grab the Morris Easy Fluid pen to bring your characters to life. You can also use the pom-poms in the elf decoration kit to add a cute nose to your reindeer!
