Then take your pick from one of these 13 suggestions.Get the scissors, glue and ribbons out of the drawer and let’s get started!

Original ideas to give your gift a creative twist

► 1. Minimalism with strings

Let’s start with the easiest idea on our list first. All you need are strings, just wrap them around your gift to give your gift an original touch.

► 2. A few spikes and spots of colour

For our second creation, we just need a little paint. Plain wrapping paper is easily coloured with coloured dots and spots. You can create these using the eraser part of a pencil or even a cotton bud. You can even use bubble wrap to go even faster.

► 3. Stamp

Geometric patterns, original shapes, letters… It doesn’t take much to add a personal touch to your packaging. With the following tip, you can quickly make your own stamps: you take a small baking tin and cut out the outline of the pattern from half a potato. Then dip the cut end of the potato into the paint. Now you’re ready to stamp!

► 4. Simple decoration with stickers

One of the quickest ways to personalise your gift wrap is to use stickers. You can find them in all colours and sizes. Without too much crafting, your wrap will soon look like it was made by a pro.

► 5. A glittering tape

Tape is primarily used to seal your packages, however, it can be used in many other ways as well. Combine it with confetti or glitter and it becomes a colourful and festive tape.

► 6. Say it with flowers and plants

Flowers and plants are the best way to play with the seasons – blooming flowers in spring, colourful leaves in autumn or a pine branch at Christmas? Originality guaranteed!

► 7. Say it with pictures

Photos often evoke fond memories, so stick a photo of your acquaintance on the wrapping if you’re going to give them a birthday present or a holiday photo.

► 8. Recycle your plastic bags

Do you have any colourful plastic bags left over that deserve a second life? Use them as original packaging for your gift.

► 9. Pay special attention

Here you simply attach an extra gift to your packaging. This gift can, for example, serve as a clue to the contents of the gift.

► 10. Combine patterns and colours

With double-sided (or double-sided) wrapping paper, you can simply combine different patterns and colours into one gift. They give your wrapping more dynamism and style.

► 11. Gift paper that allows writing

With this black gift wrap, your entire gift becomes one big picture. What could be more personal than a gift wrap with your own message, the one from the heart?

► 12. A dive into confetti

For this wrapping you need 2 things: glue and confetti, lots of confetti! First apply a little glue to your wra

paper, then dip it into a tray filled with confetti. You can also use this coloured confetti to fill a bag.

► 13. Combine two layers of wrapping paper

Pour notre dernier emballage, vous avez besoin de deux couches de papier. Il est préférable d’utiliser deux couleurs contrastées pour un effet plus voyant. Découpez ensuite des motifs dans la couche extérieure du papier. Même pour un vrai profane de l’emballage, c’est un moyen facile de créer en un clin d’œil un cadeau original stupéfiant.
