Packaging Matters. (We’re talking about gift packaging here people…) It is a known sociological fact that we as humans are attracted to interesting looking things. We are even more attracted to interesting things when it isn’t obvious what they are and we have to uncover them. Let’s say oh…like opening a gift. When given a choice between two gift boxes, you will always pick the one that has an element of wonderment. It’s a proven fact.
So why not use that theory to your advantage every time you give a gift? Simply put, a good delivery means taking the time to wrap the gift. Boom. Now, check out these 3 ways to make an impression with gift packaging:
1.) Get Creative
Need inspiration? Well, check out one of our favorite gift packaging blogs (yes, this blog is all about gift wrapping!) and let the inspiration find you! You’ll find it all at “Older and Wiser”. Nothing but creativity here.
2.) Add a Personal Touch
Who said gift packaging has to be fancy? Adding that personal touch might just supersede that fanciness. Also, you’ll better understand that 3 letter word, DIY, that sounds so cool but you don’t know what they are talking about. (Do-It-Yourself). Check out these easy DIY steps from Artifact Uprising and make it your own!
3.) Go Classic
Maybe it’s that you just don’t know HOW to gift wrap or you need a refresher? For a great tutorial we turn to a true classic for advice, Martha Stewart. Once you master the basics, it becomes quite simple.
It suddenly isn’t about the sweater and that you remembered (although good for you!) but that you were thoughtful. Whatever happens, don’t hand it over in the bag with the receipt still in it or we might come and find you.
