How to give a birthday present in an original way?
If you want to arrange a memorable birthday party for your loved one, then choosing gifts is half the battle. The direct delivery of the presentation is also an important stage in the donation. How to present a gift in an original way so that this process becomes no less vivid memory? We offer you to get acquainted with original ideas that will make your memorable day truly unforgettable.
Peculiarities
In order for the presentation of the gift to go the way you want, you need to think over everything in advance. First, make a plan of action.
- Pick an idea. This is the main point of the whole plan. Among the abundance of options for presenting a gift, you need to choose one that will be appreciated by the addressee, and which will correspond to his age and character. For example, a respectable man may not agree to go through a quest in order to receive a gift.
- Connect your friends, colleagues or relatives. Any surprise becomes more pleasant if many people are involved in its preparation. Especially if they all sincerely want to congratulate the hero of the occasion. Distribute responsibilities so that everyone does their part in preparing the surprise.
- Create a budget. Decide how much money you are willing to spend on the gift and its original presentation, as well as how much other participants in the event can spend.
- Buy a gift. Since you have already decided on the idea, the only thing left is to acquire it. And safely hide from the hero of the occasion, so that the surprise remains a surprise.
- Find the props. Materials are needed to make any beautiful idea come true. It can be original wrapping paper, caps with pipes, costumes and whatever your idea suggests.
It is very important to start preparing for the “ceremony” in advance. If you do everything at the last moment, then haste is inevitable, and with it force majeure is inevitable. The preparation time depends on the complexity of the idea and the number of participants.
How interesting is it to pack?
So, if packaging is the key to your gift, explore creative options for how you can accomplish it. Everyone knows the general principles of gift wrapping. For men, they usually use wrapping paper or bags in restrained colors, for women - in pastel or bright, children are most often given a cartoonish design of a gift. You should be careful with gold and silver colors, as it is easy to overdo it with these colors.
Now let's look at different creative packaging options that will help add originality to your present:
- use braid with funny pompoms or tassels;
- stick thematic stickers on the package;
- attach a designer mini-card on a rope to the gift;
- a bottle of wine can be wrapped in a beautiful scarf and pinned to the fabric with a brooch;
- cover the box with a gift with photos of your friend (girlfriend) or friends who congratulate him;
- an option for girls - pack a gift in a box with a coded lock, from which the hero of the occasion will receive a code after answering the quest questions and the like;
- at the intersection of gift ribbons, you can sew on a button with four holes;
- Eco-style packaging - decorate plain wrapping paper and twine with a plant, for example, a juniper sprig or a modest flower;
- make a dressing tape from floss threads or yarn for knitting of different textures and thicknesses;
- for a children's gift, you can glue a small toy - a car or a doll on double-sided tape;
- a box decorated with letters from different newspapers and magazines will look unusual, from them you can make short congratulations, write a name and so on;
- make a rhinestone pattern on the packaging yourself, or buy a ready-made version at a jewelry store.
Before choosing the color of the packaging, remember the features of each of them. It will become clear whether the shade you have chosen will be appropriate in this particular case.
- Green and blue... They are considered solid colors, especially their dark, deep shades. Perfect for gift wrapping for adult men.
- Red. Perfect for small boxes, but large scarlet packaging looks too flashy.
- Yellow. Not recommended for wrapping gifts for loved ones, because it is associated with separation. Otherwise, this color is quite good for a presentation - it carries a positive, a charge of vivacity and sunny mood.
- Brown. Perhaps this color is not the best way to decorate a gift. Like black, it is completely non-festive and can only be used on special occasions when the concept of the gift suggests it.
- Purple... This color is inextricably linked with intuition, creativity and intelligence. A gift decorated in such a range will surely be appreciated by art lovers and mystics.
- Pink. The color of tenderness and love is suitable not only for gifts for little girls. All women sometimes want to feel cared for and dream a little - feel free to use it to decorate gifts for the fair sex.
Presentation methods
If you do not intend to stop at creative packaging, but want to arrange a whole presentation from the presentation of a gift, you will surely like one of the ideas below.
Quest with a map
It's like a kid's treasure hunt game that is fun and challenging to play. There is a map that you make yourself, and it shows the route of travel. However, simply following the indicated path is not the case. Each stop should be accompanied by an interesting task that the person will find at the specified point.
You can also cut the drawn map into pieces, arrange its fragments into envelopes and hide them.And you can find each of them only by solving the next puzzle from the organizer of the quest. Only by collecting the card together, the hero of the occasion will be able to find the hidden gift.
Box in box
After purchasing several boxes of different sizes, fold them like nesting dolls. To make it even more interesting, hide the gift not only in the smallest of them, but also in each one that will be opened. The main thing is that the most pleasant surprise is in the last box.
Theatrical production
If we take the plot of the favorite book of the hero of the holiday as a basis and play it jokingly, then the congratulation ceremony will be just brilliant. Use catch phrases from the book, costumes, create an atmosphere of unfolding events... Connect your imagination and create to your taste.
Luggage storage
Hide the gift in the locker, and so that your friend does not find the gift right away, take a few pictures on the way back. Give the pictures one by one after each successfully completed stage of the path. In this case, an accompanying letter is drawn up with congratulations and instructions for completing the quest.
Send words and numbers, one pair in each SMS, and when the hero of the occasion composes a phrase from them, he will receive a code from the cell.
Congratulations from the star
On one of the congratulatory services, order congratulations in the voice of your favorite artist, your friend or president. He will be very pleased that you have found such an original way of congratulating, and the mood from the familiar voice in the phone will increase.
Sudden courier
You can order a courier from the holiday agency. Depending on the gender and age of the person you want to congratulate, the parameters of the courier and his costume will be selected. It can be a cartoon character, a pirate, a nurse, and many other characters.
If you give a surprise so unexpectedly, then even the most ordinary present, for example, a certificate to one of the stores, will become one of the brightest gifts of the holiday.
Life-size puppet
It will be a very funny and unexpected surprise. The hero of the occasion will not only be surprised, but will also be happy to capture himself in memory with the giant courier.
Butterflies
Another fun way to give a present is to put a couple of tropical butterflies in a surprise box. They will fly out as soon as the box is opened and will make a tremendous impression.
Balloon delivery
Tie the gift box to the helium balloons so that they fly to the hero or heroine of the holiday.
The main thing is not to overdo it with balls, especially if the action takes place on the street, so that the surprise does not fly into the sky.
Flash mob
In creative agencies of congratulations there are entire scenarios in which you are congratulated by "random" passers-by. They can say pleasant words to a person, dance, sing. The effect of surprise from such a gift is guaranteed, and pleasant memories will remain for a long time.
Recommendations
