Nothing says Christmas better than a pile of pretty packages under the tree. So whether you’re sorting presents for five or 50, here's how to get gift wrapping right every time…
Less is more when it comes to the paper. “Gifts wrapped in understated paper, and sealed with double-sided sticky tape look far more professional than busy paper with sticky tape all over it,” says gift wrapping expert Jane Means. For a neatly wrapped parcel, don’t use too much paper around the sides. You only need a little bit of overlap to seal.
Wrap simple oblong shapes without tape – simply secure with a tied ribbon. It means you can reuse the paper too.
Personalise the gift wrap for a really thoughtful touch. “Designer Abigail Warner creates bespoke paper, printed with recipient’s name or a special message,” says Eleanor Gregory, a Christmas and gifting buyer at Selfridges. “You can print yours in store at the Selfridges Christmas Shop this year.”
Make gift wrap from your memories. Simply upload your favourite photographs to the website wrap.me and it will create a sheet using your pictures.
