Follow these four tips for how to wrap the perfect gift.

1) Keep the patterns simple! Large prints or bold stripes are the key to eye-catching gifts this year, with simple ribbons and holly leaf tags to decorate before putting under the tree.

2) Mix it up with ribbons for each gift by using layers of thin string or ribbon to add a rustic look to your Christmas parcels, or use elegant wraps and thick bows around larger parcels for a traditional festive present.

3) Think 3D with your tags and decorations by adding pine cones, holly leaves, large cut out tags, and textured ribbons and string. Use items that reflect the receiver’s personality, and instantly add Christmas sparkle to an wrapped gift.

4) Earth-inspired browns have been a huge trend, and with the addition of reds, golds, and glitters, it won’t be stopping for the Christmas season. Add some shine and glamour to your usual wrapping routine to truly make your parcels sparkle.
