Put your stamp on it – give plain brown parcel paper an artistic and personalised touch with a woodblock stamp. From a festive pattern to your receiver’s name, use white or gold ink to keep in with the season. The homemade, rustic look certainly adds charm under any tree.

Eco conscious – with pretty and delicate patterns, choose some fab old fabric or knit you have lying around or tucked in a tin somewhere to wrap your parcels. A second gift in itself, it’s also much kinder to the environment.

Gift boxes – if you want to spend a little more on gifting this year, a sharp, crisp box always adds to the excitement and overall presentation. Modernistic designs featuring two tones are always elegant and make for better keepsakes afterwards.

Colour and contrast – if you like keeping to a theme, try sticking to just two colours. Incorporated in your paper, bows, ties, tape and tags, don’t stray from your colour scheme. To ensure an eye-catching parcel display, buy two colours in each item and switch out every other present.

These ideas are sure to impress everyone on your Christmas gift list.  We’d love you to share your wrapping skills with us on Instagram and Facebook – don’t forget to use #ChristmasWithKarndean.
