Christmas is a time for joy, love, and, of course, gift-giving! But, no matter how special the present inside, beautifully wrapped gifts add an extra layer of excitement and thoughtfulness. Whether you’re preparing to wrap a personalised gift or a festive hamper, getting the wrapping just right can elevate the experience for the recipient.
At Gift Shop London, we understand the importance of presentation. As a same-day personalised gift and gift hamper provider, we offer not only beautifully crafted presents but also same-day delivery across London, ensuring that even the last-minute shopper can make their gift extra special. Now, let’s get into how to wrap those Christmas gifts with flair and care!
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before you start wrapping, make sure you have everything you need:
- Wrapping paper (Christmas-themed for that festive touch)
- Scissors
- Tape
- Ribbons, bows, or decorative accents
- Gift tags
Pro tip: Choose high-quality paper and decorative elements. At Gift Shop London, we offer a variety of premium wrapping options for customers who visit our store or opt for our gift hampers. Presentation makes all the difference!
Step 2: Measure and Cut Your Wrapping Paper
Place your gift box in the centre of the wrapping paper. Ensure you have enough paper to cover all sides of the box. A good rule of thumb is to leave at least two inches of extra paper on each side. Once you’ve measured, cut the paper neatly.
Be precise! Crisp, clean lines make for a more professional look. For our gift hampers at Gift Shop London, we use premium wrapping to ensure that every edge and fold looks flawless.
Step 3: Secure the Paper Around the Gift
Wrap the paper tightly around the box, making sure the edges meet neatly in the centre. Secure it with a piece of tape. Repeat the process on the other side. The aim is to create smooth surfaces without any awkward bumps or bulges.
For our customers, especially those purchasing from our London shop, we provide beautifully wrapped gifts with every purchase. If you need assistance with tricky wrapping, our staff is always happy to help.
Step 4: Fold the Ends
This is often the trickiest part. On the shorter ends of the box, fold the top of the wrapping paper down, then tuck the sides inward to create two triangles. Fold the bottom triangle upwards and secure it with tape. Repeat on the other side.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
Now comes the fun part: decorating! Add a festive ribbon or bow to your gift for a classic Christmas look. If you want to get creative, you can also add small accessories like pine cones, holly, or candy canes.
If you’re sending one of our hampers, Gift Shop London offers customised ribbons and decorative accents, ensuring each package is as unique as the recipient.
Step 6: Attach a Gift Tag
Don’t forget the gift tag! Write a heartfelt message to make the gift even more personal. After all, it’s not just about the present but the thought behind it.
At Gift Shop London, we offer personalised gift tags for that extra-special touch. Whether you’re buying in-store or opting for same-day delivery, we ensure that every gift is uniquely wrapped and beautifully presented.
Tips for Wrapping Oddly Shaped Gifts
Not all gifts come in neat boxes. If you have something oddly shaped, like a personalised item from our shop or a uniquely curated gift hamper, here’s what you can do:
- Use a gift bag and tissue paper for an elegant, hassle-free solution.
- Create a wrapping paper “pouch” by folding the paper over the gift and securing it on the sides, like a festive envelope.
- Use cellophane wrap for gift hampers, adding ribbons and bows to keep everything secure and presentable.
At Gift Shop London, we specialise in curating beautifully wrapped hampers for every occasion. Whether it’s Christmas, a birthday, or any other special event, we make sure that each gift is wrapped with care and creativity.
