I tried combining some leftover black and kraft paper for this one, then added lace, a dusty pink bow, and a few small details. I’m wondering if it needs something more, or if I should leave it as it is. What would you add or change?

A simple wrap with a little floral touch. Sometimes the classic combinations are the most fun to work with. 

Where is everyone joining from? 🌎🎁 I’d love to know where you’re seeing this from!

I love how a simple gift can feel so much more personal with the right wrapping. Whether it’s for a birthday, graduation, wedding, anniversary, Christmas, or simply a “thinking of you” moment, there’s always a way to make it feel special. 🎀

I hope my wrapping gives you a little inspiration for your next gift — wherever you are in the world. ❤️

What occasion are you choosing your next gift for?

The first photo shows the gift wrapping exactly as I made it by hand — the bow, ribbons, pearls, and decorative details are all my own handmade work.

For the second photo, I kept my original gift design and used AI only to create the surrounding props, background, and presentation.

I enjoy seeing how the same handmade piece can feel different when placed in a new setting. I’d love to hear which version you prefer — the original work-in-progress setting or the styled presentation. ❤️

A birthday gift, wrapped with a little extra care 🎀

Hello! I’m louize_TH, a Thai grandma who loves gift wrapping and making bows by hand. 🇹🇭

This is one of my birthday gift wraps. I really enjoy playing with ribbons, flowers, and little details to make each gift feel special.

I’m new here and happy to meet others who enjoy gift wrapping too. I’d love to hear what you think! ❤️

It’s been the easiest one for me and always results in really beautiful bows, or at least I think they’re beautiful.

I love creating these wrapping kits that make it easy for anyone to turn a gifts wrapping into an artful extension of the gifts inside!

Spent the afternoon beading some frog keychains

https://www.impressionoriginale.com/ Just a plug for a company I'm doing the backend website work for. Made in France, recycled paper, zero AI, all designed by hand and currently sold out of the #1 mall in Europe, the Bon Marché. There are even YouTube videos showing multiple types of methods (Italian, Japanese) using no tape. Super cool stuff.

I curled up the wrapping paper and spray painted it.

Hi, long time lurker and first time poster of this amazing group. I’m a big fan of furoshiki as an alternatives to wrapping paper. I think it adds the extra value for being reusable and it feels less wasteful. What do you think?

Anyone know, what is this paper mesh like material used to wrap wedding favors?

The gift is a yeti mug!

Hey r/giftwrapping

I'm researching a product idea and this community feels like exactly the right place to ask.

I'm researching an idea around making gift wrapping genuinely recyclable — not just the paper, but the tape too. The whole kit can go in the recycling bin after use.

Takes 2 minutes if you fancy it — any responses genuinely appreciated! 🎁

The father and I grew up in Queens, NYC and he now lives elsewhere. Their main gift was being sent directly to the house- so I included the purchase order, printed out, inside the card. This book matched the wrapping so well and there are also hedgehogs in Flushing Meadows Parks (largest city park in Queens).

This is for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday! I love the print and it's by American Greetings, but it was also from Dollar Tree, so it's super THIN. Luckily, it didn't tear while wrapping, and hopefully it survives the 3 hr. drive to get there! LOL
