We probably all have a frosty person around us who complains in the autumn/winter period about radiators that are too cold, socks that are too thin and frost outside the window. Giving such a person a warm blanket as a gift (you can even find versions with a heating function) can be an ideal idea. However, meeting the tastes and needs of a loved one is not enough. Aesthetics and proper packaging also count. Here are some tips on how to pack a blanket for a gift.
How to pack a gift blanket nicely?
When packing a gift blanket aesthetically, the first step is to consider how the blanket should look in the end and how it should be unwrapped. Depending on our manual skills and the broader context of the idea, we can use one of several ideas:
- Ready-made gift bags – you can find paper gift bags in many colour variants and sizes to suit each gift. They are often interestingly decorated according to the occasion, such as Christmas motifs. Elegance will certainly be added by interesting filling of such a bag – with decorative materials or sweet accessories.
- Wrapping paper and foil – this is a classic solution and a huge choice of options. Choose from shiny and rustling foils, eco-friendly kraft papers and dedicated gift papers with ready-made motifs.
- Gift baskets – this is the perfect solution for those who like to be creative. A gift basket is usually a number of smaller gifts connected by a common theme. In this case, a blanket can be used as the bottom of such a basket and it is on this blanket that the other gifts can be placed.
- Traditional gift box – a square box is a very graceful way to wrap any gift. Nothing is more associated with gifts than hard cardboard boxes, hiding interesting gifts inside. We can also decorate them with decorative papers.
How do I wrap a blanket in paper?
Aesthetic packaging of a blanket appears at first glance to be quite a challenge, especially if we want to do it perfectly. How to pack a blanket nicely for a gift using wrapping paper?
Paper with patterns and motifs will be great, especially for the holidays. More versatile is single-colour kraft paper. You need a piece of sticky tape, sharp scissors and optionally a knife (can be for wallpaper). Roll the blanket in the way you like, for example by folding it into a cube, cut a suitable amount of paper under the resulting size with at least a few centimetres of space and fix it in several places with the adhesive tape.
How to decorate a wrapped blanket?
Once the gift wrapping of the blanket has been successfully completed, there is still the question of the accessories, which some people consider absolutely necessary. It doesn’t matter whether we finally put the blanket in a box, foil, gift paper or in an aesthetic bag. In either case, there is something else we can do to make the gift more pleasing. Here are some ideas for decorating the package:
- Ribbons and bows – a classic accessory that practically always works.
- Labels and tags – personalised labels with the name of the recipient or a few kind words are sure to delight the recipient. A must, especially under the Christmas tree.
- Decorative tou ches – a few fun stickers, beads, felt or plush decorations or even jute strings are sure to emphasise your wrapping efforts.
