We are loving this pastel pink, white and gold colour combination. This would be a great theme if you are giving someone a few small gifts and want them to coordinate, but not look exactly the same.

• This is a great way of creating a secure little pocket to stash your gift card (which can so easily become detached from your gift at parties). 
• Using contrasting wrapping paper makes your gift stand out. 
• This method is nearly as easy to execute as the traditional gift wrapping method. 
• This is a great way of adding interest when wrapping a simple shape, such as a book, without having to spend more money on ribbon or other trims.

Grab a ball of yarn, some kraft paper and a marker and have some fun with this idea…

• Lots of people would have yarn/string, plain paper and a marker lying around at home, so no fancy materials required. 
• You’re only limited by your imagination, but if you’re stuck for ideas then this is a cool one. 
• The red twine looks great against the natural coloured kraft paper. Pick a bold colour that contrasts with your paper if you want you twine design to stand out. 

Home-baked goods are one of the nicest gifts to give people. They’re inexpensive and don’t need to take long to make. Present a home-made treat in some beautiful packaging and your recipient will be speechless. This is a great way of creating unique, personalised gift wrapping for food:

• It’s simple to make – simply iron a piece of tissue paper between two sheets of wax paper.
• You can completely personalise this to suit your recipient – hearts work well for anyone. You could use masculine motifs/colours for a guy. I would love to try this using pressed flowers for a woman. 
• This type of wrapping can be used to wrap anything from cakes to biscuits and chocolates. 
• If you’re wrapping multiple items, such as biscuits, use a square piece of paper. Place biscuits in the centre and gather the corners together. Gather the paper into a bunch and secure with a ribbon  or twine. 

• This technique works particularly well for books, but you could experiment wrapping other things with this way. 
• It’s environmentally friendly as they is not wrapping paper left over to dispose of. 
• You can dress up this type of wrapping with a ribbon or twine. 
• The recipient receives two gifts
• It’s easy to do – it’s as simple as folding a shirt and tying the sleeves. 

There is no shortage of choice when it comes to patty pans/cupcake liners these days. This assortment of different coloured/patterned patty pans are ideal for layering to create these gorgeous paper flowers – beautiful gift toppers. 

• These flowers act like a fancy bow on a present and are the finishing touch on a beautifully wrapped gift. 
• They are inexpensive and easy to make. Don’t worry about having a few different colours in your cupboard – you’ll always use them for patty cakes and muffins. 
• You can have fun playing around with different colour combinations, but they look great set against plain brown kraft wrapping paper (which is inexpensive and an essential in every wrapping cupboard).
