Small and original packaging inspirations for Christmas

Pure nature

Decorate your gifts with natural materials for a particularly personal, imaginative touch. Make your gifts unique with a little something you found on a walk in the woods – simply collect some twigs, pine cones or beautiful flowers and use them to decorate your presents.  

It’s the little things

The little personal details make these gifts real eye-catchers. Stickers, tags, handwritten notes or even a Polaroid photo on the packaging will transform even the most boring wrapping paper into a personal message. And the best part? Your loved ones won’t just love the gift, they’ll also love the thoughtful message. 

Plain and simple

Simple but beautiful: go for a high-quality satin ribbon paired with simple, light-brown wrapping paper.

Romantic

Opt for simplicity with elegant flowers. Sometimes less is more. It’s better to write a heartfelt card than focus on too many frills. 

Pure

It’s not all about more, more, more! Sometimes a little goes a long way. Why not go for just a simple ribbon, and save money on wrapping paper and decorations?

A little bit of lace

Use old lace to create a vintage look. Even a paper doily will do. Just wrap it around your gift, secure with tape, add a ribbon and a flower and you’re done. Give your gift a romantic, original feel. 

Too much work?

If all of this is too much effort, you can simply use ready-made gift boxes or bags instead. You can purchase ready-made alternatives in our stores or when ordering from our online shop.
