Decorating Gift Boxes for the 2022 Holiday Season
Money is tight for a lot of people right now. How can you show your loved ones you care this holiday season while avoiding a big bill come January 1st?
A decorative gift box offers a fun option. You can add small, fun candies and gifts or you can place a gift card or cash inside, knowing this option will be far less impersonal after you offer the little bit of extra effort that it takes to decorate a box. Doing so shows that you put energy, time, and effort into thinking about your loved one—and you can give them the thing that they want, too.
Even if you don’t have a gift card or cash budget, you can use your gift box to offer cookies or other treats.
How do you make a decorative gift box?
Start with a good box base. Here at Paper Plus, we offer wooden boxes, acrylic containers, craft boxes, cellophane bags, tin boxes, and more. We recommend buying present boxes with lids to maximize both the aesthetic value of the gift box and its overall utility.
Some of the boxes that we offer are already beautiful, which means you won’t even have to wrap it. You will just have to take a little time to customize it, so that the entire gift is one-of-a-kind.
What can I use to decorate a gift box?
When you decorate a gift box you should be trying to make your packaging into the star of the show.
You’ve got plenty of options. Use a hot glue gun to change the color or pattern on the side of the box, or to add stickers. Use pipe cleaners to create 3D decorations, or curl some ribbons to wrap around the box. Use stick-on-letters to add the name of each recipient.
Don’t forget to decorate the inside as well. Adding pretty paper to the interior of your box could make a huge difference to the overall presentation.
Small, decorative gift boxes are the thoughtful touch that will help put a smile on your loved one’s faces this year.
Part of the fun of the holidays is the anticipation that comes from unwrapping a gorgeous gift. The anticipation and the beauty can provide more happy memories than the gift itself. We’ve all gotten a bit creative during Covid with our home projects and new hobbies, so it’s time to put all that creativity to work!
With that in mind, take the time to hop on down to Paper Plus today. We’ve got everything you need to make the perfect gift boxes for your loved ones!
