In the momentous occasion of receiving a present, excitement is often achieved simply by wrapping the gift in the right manner. If you are about to handout a present or in preparation for Christmas, here are a few tips to ensure the wrapping does not disappoint.
1. Always Wrap Your Presents – Some wrapping it better than no wrapping. It symbolises that you have taken the time to invest more thought in the gift. It also hides the actual contents thereby creating a sense of anticipation.
2. Divide and Wrap Individually – If the present is made of various items, wrap each one. Each has potential to create excitement on its own accord. You can also create a game whereby one present is left in plain view and the recipient has to guess the rest of the gifts based on that single one.
3. Put Your Crafty Hat On – While it is true that using any wrapping is better than no wrapping, you should go the extra mile and use quality materials. Any cover will benefit from a simple ribbon and bow which will add immensely to the wrapping.
4. Place The Gift In A Box – Presents which come boxed always create a better sense of anticipation and excitement because it is hard to guess the contents simply by touching. It also makes the present easier to wrap.
5. Attach A Meaningful Card – On the outside of the wrap, attach a handwritten card or note. In this note, give a clue as the content of the gift. Do not just say ‘I thought you might like it’ but take the time to write a few meaningful lines.
6. Choose The Right Moment – Always try and give your presents by hand. One which was posted in the mail will not create the same sense of excitement. Equally it is important to pick the right moment. Monday morning before the rush of the new week is probably not a good time.
