When you make a present, the type of wrapping or packet that you choose becomes part of the gift itself. For this reason it is important to choose with care how to wrap your presents.
An important feature of presents is their package: wrapping, indeed, is a presentation of the gift itself, and when we make a present to someone, we would like to make a good impressions even before the gift is unwrapped. In this sense the wide choice of boxes, packets and wrapping paper that you can find on the market are certainly a big help to wrap your gifts in an original and impressive way, but if you make a little effort you can create nice packets also with your own hands, following some tips and using your imagination.
On the one hand it is true that you should not judge a book by its cover or look a gift horse in the mouth; on the other hand, in the case of gifts we cannot deny that wrapping is an essential feature, as it can make a present even more special. This is true especially in certain cases, for example when we buy a present to a child, but in any case a nice wrapping works like a sort of "captatio benevolentiae" in the mind of the receiver, who becomes more favorably-inclined towards the contents of the packet if s/he gets a good impression from the wrapping. To have an evidence of this you only need to think about the moment when you receive a gift: one of the best thing is unwrapping it, and if the gift is non unwrapped you do not appreciate it in the same way, do you? And have you ever received a gift wrapped with a creased wrapping paper or in a bad way and you got disappointed by that, even if the gift itself is not as bad as that?
To avoid this, you can use many tricks and types of wrappings. You can find many nice little boxes, for example: colored, decorated and realized with different materials, you can also embellish them with bows or something like that. This is the perfect casing if you have to wrap small, irregularly shaped objects, which might be difficult to wrap with paper.
If the objects you need to wrap are irregularly shaped but also big, and you cannot find a box with the right shape and size, you can wrap them with a very light paper, like tissue-paper. In this case, indeed, the wrapping paper that you usually use might not be able to model itself to the object because of its rigidity. Another solution is using organza bags or bags realized with other materials, which you can close with a ribbon.
Last tip: if you have to wrap a present for a child, the most important feature of the wrapping is the color. Choose bright and vivid colors and paper with the images of animals or cartoons characters. When a child receives a gift, indeed, the first thing that s/he notices is the color of the packet, as well as its size.
These are only a few tips, but if you follow them you can be sure to "dress" your gifts in the best way.
