[PL] How to wrap a baby shower gift?

A baby shower is a special event, during which the mother-to-be is presented with gifts for herself and her little one. But the gift itself is not everything – the way it is wrapped can make a huge impression on parents-to-be and guests. How do you choose the right one? As it turns out, it’s not an easy task, as the gifts given on this occasion are often varied and bulky. Together, however, we find a practical solution. Here are some tips on how to pack your baby shower gift in an attractive way

What is the best way to wrap a baby shower gift?

The type of packaging depends largely on what you plan to give. Each gift requires a slightly different approach to packaging in order to look aesthetically pleasing and elegant.

For a baby shower we often give gifts in unusual shapes: a feeding horn, breast pump, electronic nanny, bottle warmer, nappies, baby clothes and much more. What to wrap these types of gifts in?

A great solution is a gift basket that you wrap in cellophane. It’s one of the most glamorous solutions, especially if you intend to give a few small items. Gift baskets are even the perfect choice for sets that may include clothes, toiletries, nappies, toys or other baby accessories. All the items can be neatly arranged in the basket and the whole thing wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon.

Gift boxes are also an excellent option for packing smaller or more delicate items, such as clothes or baby accessories. Among other things, you can choose gift boxes with a window to allow you to view the contents. This is a versatile choice available in a variety of sizes, making it easy to match the size of the gift. It’s a good idea to choose a box that matches the theme of the baby shower, such as pastel colours or baby motifs.

If you plan to give money, a gift card or a ticket to an event, an elegant gift envelope. Such envelopes are available in many colours and designs, and you can decorate them with small decorations, such as stickers in the shape of dummies or hearts. This will make even the smallest gift look special.

Yet another choice is gift bags. Simply place the gift in an aesthetically pleasing bag and decorate the whole thing with a ribbon to add a touch of elegance. Gift bags come in a variety of sizes and designs, so you can easily find something suitable to fit in with the style of your baby shower party.

How do you wrap a baby shower gift nicely?

If you prefer a traditional approach to gift wrapping, opting for decorative paper will prove to be the perfect solution. Below you will find simple instructions on how to wrap a gift nicely using it.

Choice of paper – choose paper in soft, pastel colours or with children’s motifs to match the baby shower atmosphere. Patterns such as teddy bears, hearts, prams or clouds will be perfect.
Prepare the paper – cut the paper to the right size, leaving a little bit of allowance so it’s easy to fold around the gift.
Wrap the gift – place the gift in the centre of the paper and gently wrap it by folding the sides and then securing them with sticky tape. Try to make sure the folds are even and aesthetically pleasing, especially at the corners.
Decoration – once you’ve wrapped the gift, add ribbons and decorative ribbons for an elegant look. You can also add a small bow on top. Thematic stickers will be an additional touch.

Gift wrapping with decorative paper is a classic that always works. If, however, you are giving an irregularly shaped gift and are having difficulties wrapping it, take a look at our article: How to wrap an unusually shaped gift?

How to decorate a wrapped gift?

Embellishments add uniqueness to any gift and make it personalised and thus take on an original character. What is useful for decorating your gift?

Ribbons and decorative ribbons – a classic choice that never goes out of fashion. Ribbons and decorative ribbons are available in both pastel colours and more striking shades. You can opt for delicate satin ribbons to accentuate the subtlety of the occasion.
Themed stickers – stickers related to children’s themes, such as dummies, shoes or clouds, are a great addition to any package. You can stick them on a gift bag, a box or directly on a gift wrapped in paper.
Decorative accessories – small teddy bears, wooden ornaments or flowers are accessories that will make your gift look even more special. A well-chosen decoration can become the main effect of the whole event.
