   Different years different themes.
   1. Brown paper with potato prints all over
   2. All the same colour paper
   3. Everything wrapped to look like something e.g. A folded directors chair made to look like a reindeer.
   4. Lots of silver/gold curling ribbon.
   Make it fun!

   Hmm – good one! I love making my gifts look special!
   Ok. I use pull bows and ribbons which just add that slightly more professional look to a gift than a stick on bow! I also use cello wrap for some gifts just to make thinks a little different – but the point to remember on that is that cello wrap is often transparent so you might want to wrap the gift in tissue paper first! Then scoop the wrap round the gift and tie with a pull bow again – hmmm doesn’t really make sense when you read it but please look at the picture attached but you get the idea and you can do it with any size parcel, just put some thought into folding and sticking to create the “pouch”.

   You can wrap anything, as long as it is in a box or has a square form ( ie a book).

   It depends on the recipient. If it is family or friends, you can use any kind of multi colored, funny paper. The ribbon would have to be one colored.

   If it is a co worker, or the boss, then I would suggest a one colored wrapper, ie blue, and a one colored ribbon, ie white or light gold.

   For your boyfriend, you could use the same paper as for your family, but you can also use a more romantic onr. For example, if you use a paper with santa, or with reindeer, you could change it and put something with mistletoe in it, or with candles.

   If it has a square form or is in a box, you can wrap it like this:
   1) put the wrapping paper on the table with the colored part facing the table.
   2) put the gift on the paper.
   3)cut the paper imaging that it will have to cover the whole gift.
   4) turn the gift upside down and, starting from the wider part, take both ends of the paper. glue it where they meet.
   5) turn the gift over.
   6) take the sides of the paper and fold them around the gift so they look like the gifts second skin.
   7) lgue where they meet.
   8) put the ribbon under the gift and tie it in the upper part of it.
