The Art Of Gift Wrapping
If you're planning on giving the new mommy in your life a luxury gift, the presentation must be just as beautiful as the gift inside. This can be especially difficult if you're struggling to wrap plush cashmere baby gifts or a soft baby blanket set. Here are some essential tips to make your gift wrapping -- almost -- as good as the present inside.
Choose great wrapping paper
Your premium baby gifts deserve the best wrapping paper on the market. Thin wrapping paper is prone to creasing or wrinkling in unexpected places, or even tearing. This often ruins the entire presentation of your gift.Thick wrapping paper with a beautiful design is the best option to present your baby blanket gift. It's easier to control creases during the wrapping process and won't tear like other flimsy gift wraps. On top of that, the thick paper will feel rich and luxurious to the touch when she opens her present. Just be sure to place your baby blanket gift on the paper before you cut -- this will give you the perfect amount of paper to cover the present. Using too much wrapping paper is a common beginner's mistake.
When in doubt, use a box
If you're wrapping a difficult object like a cashmere wrap for babies or a breastfeeding cover, you might want to put it in a box before you wrap it. Loose gifts made from cashmere are more prone to tearing and puncturing the wrapping paper. This can be a huge detriment to both the overall look of your gift and the surprise gift inside!
Avoid the potential for punctures by placing flexible or fragile items in a rigid box. Not only will this give you a clean crease when you wrap your present, but it will also be easier to transport if you have to travel for the holidays. If wrapping a box is still beyond your gift wrapping capabilities, then use the Internet to your advantage. Video sharing sites like Youtube have thousands of video tutorials with easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions.
