Planter Pots
Forget gift bags and boxes. You can go against the traditional methods by putting your present in a planter pot. These days, you can find ones with unique designs and textures. Or, if you want to get crafty, you can paint one to personalize to the receiver's liking.
A Touch of Lace
As we always say, 2024 was the year of coquette. And we'll be closing out the last few days with the aesthetic. You can, too, by adding a touch of lace to your packaging. If you're using a traditional gift box, swap your ribbon for lace or find an opaque lace fabric to wrap it.

Beyond Paper
Don't limit yourself to the cheap paper you'd find at your local store. You can wrap your gifts with so many materials. For example, have you ever thought of using a cloth as wrapping paper? No one will get paper cuts while opening, and it's reusable! If that's not your style, try newspaper to give it a vintage edge.
Add Some Plants
Does the person you're gifting have a green thumb? Incorporate their interests into your package by accenting it with flowers. They look gorgeous tucked into the folds of wrapping paper. You can also attach them to the front with a ribbon or rope. Plus, the flowers act as a gift before they even dig into the real thing.

Origami
Knowing how to fold paper into origami is an impressive talent. And this Christmas, consider using it to spice up your gift-wrapping. Rather than settling for the cheap bows, fold a show-stopping centerpiece. You can create your own bow formation, or try something more creative, like a snowflake.
