9 cheap gift wrapping ideas for Christmas

The holiday season is one of sharing and gathering. This is the time to show the people around us: colleagues, school staff or friends who will receive at our table how much we appreciate them by offering them a nice gift.

To do this, I propose beautiful ideas of original gift packaging, at a minimal cost and that you can make in a short time.

Do not hesitate to let your children get their hands dirty even if it's not perfect as in the photo, they will be so proud to participate in the making of a gift for their teacher!

Find your child's heart and make preparing for your present a fun one.

Homemade sweetness

You are known for your fantastic desserts? Offer a home-made sweetness!

Here is the perfect presentation to offer: brownies, squares of marshmallow puffed rice, cakes and bars of all kinds. The recyclable aluminum dish is eco-friendly and does not require returning the container to the person offered the gift. I really like the idea of using two paper lace doilies tied with a beautiful ribbon. To complete the whole, why not join a gift copy of your recipe?

Snowman in a pot

So many people are working to make the lives of our children easier and safer: the teacher, the teacher, the school secretary, the bus driver, the brigadier and so on ...

This is a great gift idea to thank all these important people! You need a Mason jar filled with white candies to remind you of a snowman's hue. You glue three black buttons and tie a few strands of red wool around the lid to reproduce the man's scarf.

Packing minute!

Chocolate is a pleasure for everyone!

Obtain chocolate bars from which you will remove the paper wrapper to keep only the aluminum foil. Then cut out a rectangle of wrapping paper or scrapbooking paper with a festive pattern of the size of your chocolate bar. If you prefer a more sober style opt for a kraft paper, a black or white paper. Glue the paper on the back of the tablet with stick glue or double-sided tape. Finish by adding ribbons, ropes, bells, stickers or even a small branch of greenery like rosemary or cedar!

Cupcake in a pot

Another great use of the Mason jar! Offer a nice cupcake in a small Mason jar turned upside down. Tie jute wire or a nice ribbon around the lid. This is an express gift idea, especially if you buy cupcakes at your favorite pastry shop!

Packing for giant biscuit

What a good idea! Have you had the reflex to find your gift packaging ideas on the side of office supply stores?

A giant biscuit is presented in a compact disc pocket. Everything is in the presentation: surrounded by a beautiful string with festive colors and attached with a beautiful label, this gift will surprise many!

Marshmallows for hot chocolate

These marshmallows are so fun to make! A straw of cardboard or a wooden stick is inserted in the marshmallow. They are then soaked in chocolate (black, milk or white) and then sprinkled with small candies. They can be eaten as is or melt gently in a hot chocolate.

Gift in jar

Succulent plants such as succulents have a deco rating in recent times. In addition to being very aesthetic they require only a minimum of care.

There are several original ways to pack your plant:

As in the picture, in a pot of painted terracotta.
Wrapped in parchment paper tied with a beautiful ribbon,
In all simplicity in a brown bag ... yes, yes, those used for lunches. Flip the edge of the bag on itself to reveal the plant and decorate it with a nice ribbon

More cookies!

Milk and biscuits: the classic combination!

This packaging idea for cookies is fun and eco-friendly. You get a carton of 1 liter of milk. Make an opening on one side leaving one side fixed on the box, it will look like a door. Cut out a square of parchment paper or waxed paper and place it at the bottom of the box before putting your cookies in it. Add straws for the milk that will accompany the cookies.

The small reindeer with a red nose

A gift whose presentation will make his recipient smile for sure!

For the beer or root beer lover, the bottles are transformed into a little red-nosed reindeer. You attach to each bottle two funny eyes and a red pompom with a hot glue gun. Brown cure pipes will be used to recreate the woods of our little reindeer.

Easy as everything!
