Does the thought of wrapping presents stress you out? Gift wrapping can be challenging, especially if you have an oddly shaped present that needs wrapping. However, with a bit of organization, planning, and patience, you will be able to wrap gifts with ease and start to enjoy this aspect of the gift-giving process!

So, before you call it quits, use these essential tips for those who can’t wrap presents to lower your stress and frustration.

Create a Clean Gift-Wrapping Station

Before wrapping presents, you should create a designated space to wrap your gifts to keep everything ready in one spot. A cleared-off desk, dining room table, or empty floor space can serve as a suitable place to set up your gift-wrapping station.

If you create a workspace before you begin wrapping, your job will be much easier. Your supplies, gifts, and paper scraps stay in one organized area.

Don’t Rush! Take Your Time

Take your time while you’re wrapping presents. If you want your present to look presentable, take your time to perfect the crisp lines and edges. Gift wrapping can be an annoying and tedious task; however, if you slow down, you will reduce your chances of messing up and needing to start over.

Find Your Sharpest Scissors

You might hate wrapping gifts because you use dull scissors, which leaves behind unsightly tattered edges and makes achieving crisp folds even more of a chore. Use your sharpest scissors to help you cut efficiently and quickly through single or multiple sheets of paper. Having a good pair of scissors really makes a difference in your gift-wrapping experience.

Have a Small Trash Can Handy

As a beginner, you’ll likely still make some mistakes. You’ll need to throw away scrap pieces of gift wrapping away after making mistakes or trimming up your work. An essential tip for those who can’t wrap presents is to have a small trash can handy while wrapping. This choice makes cleanup a breeze and lowers your chances of leaving trash behind.

Skip Gift Tags, Use Stickers

Instead of labeling your gift with the traditional gift tags, save on time and use letter stickers or DIY tags to identify the recipient. Stickers will add a unique flair to your overall wrapped presents.

Another cute and effortless way to personalize your gift wrapping is to can write who the gift is for with sharpie markers! Just keep the writing neat and use a sharpie that stands out.

Find Other Creative Ways To Wrap Gifts

You don’t have to use traditional gift-wrapping paper to wrap your presents; there are various creative ways to cover your gifts with ease. There are many creative ways to wrap presents to match the season, from newspapers to eco-friendly cloth. You can also pick a material that matches the occasion’s theme!

Wrapping presents is not all bad, especially when you see the result after taking your time and perfecting your skills. Use these tips for the next birthday or holiday, and impress your recipient before they even unwrap their present!
