The saying advises against judging a book by its cover, but with gifts, the situation is quite the opposite. The wrapping of a favour is an integral part of it. The choice of packaging conveys a great deal of information about the gift-givers’ intentions. It also emphasises the nature of the present and the occasion for which the gift is being given. Choose gift bags and delight the recipient.
When choosing the packaging for a gift, it is worth spending some time and energy. Mainly because even the most beautiful gift seems less attractive in inadequate packaging and vice versa – every little thing wrapped with heart and care is special to the recipient.
What to wrap trinkets in?
Despite common belief, it is often the tiniest gifts that pose the greatest challenges when it comes to packaging. We can wrap a larger box simply in decorative paper that seems appropriate to the occasion. The problem arises when you have to wrap a small item, especially one that has no wrapping and stands out for its unusual shape. These include, for example, a single cosmetic, earrings, a handicraft or a First Communion rosary.
A fabric bag? The perfect solution!
When it comes to such trinkets, gift bags and pouches work perfectly. The bags themselves offer an additional benefit and, unlike paper or regular bags, people can reuse them several times. Recipients can use them to store trinkets, for instance. A fabric pouch provides an elegant and highly practical way to beautifully wrap a gift.
If you choose a drawstring favour bag, you can be 100% sure that your gift will be aesthetically wrapped and will look beautiful, even if you do not have the special manual skills required for paper wrapping.
Which gift bag should I choose?
Choosing the right fabric for gift bags is crucial to accentuate the gift’s nature or align with the occasion. Carefully choosing the right fabric makes your gift look better and adds meaning to the overall gift-giving experience. For gifts worth showcasing, opt for a semi-transparent bag crafted from organza. In an organza bag, every little thing looks very impressive, even if it is just sweets or a bath ball.
The organza pouch, in a lovely color, wraps small gifts for party guests, like wedding thank-you gifts. For intimate presents, choose elegant velour, satin, or metallic drawstring bags, available in silver or gold.
These fabrics are also perfect for packaging luxury cosmetics, jewellery, perfumes or other trinkets. If the person you want to gift is a nature lover, a modest, simple pouch will be an excellent choice. For example, jute or linen bags, which are somewhat austere in appearance. Natural cosmetics, natural, regional products or handicrafts look great in them.
You can wash and iron denim pouches, making them convenient for storing various small items. They also add a decorative touch. Personalized bags, such as those printed for a specific holiday, will highlight the character of the gift and enhance the festive atmosphere.
Gift bags for wedding guests
Symbolic gifts, such as thank-you bags for guests, are becoming increasingly popular in nowadays. These pouches are commonly used by young couples at weddings, but they’re also becoming prevalent at events like christenings, communions, or birthdays. As such a gift is very symbolic and usually modest, beautiful wrapping plays a key role in how guests receive it and what impression it makes. Gift bags with ribbon drawstring made of organza or those sewn from satin or, in the case of children’s parties, denim pouches, for example, are ideal for this purpose. Favour bags are a fantastic substitute for paper.
