How to beautifully wrap a gift for a man?

Do you also think that bows and other rustling tinsel on a gift are more suitable for a girl? We are in a hurry to please lovers and lovers of creative presentation of presents: men love a careful and thoughtful choice of packaging for gifts no less than the fair sex. An interesting design can create unexpected, funny or magnificent surroundings around even the most serial souvenir.

A gift is good, but a beautifully wrapped gift is even better, because there is a mystery, intrigue, a desire to find out what is inside. If a woman is delighted with a bow or just a pretty color of wrapping paper, then with men it is a little more difficult.

To beautifully pack a present for a representative of the strong half of humanity, you need to follow simple rules.

1. Colour. Gray is boring. Women's colors are too glamorous for a real "maine". Brown, blue, red, green are masculine colors. Two primary colors and one accent color are suitable for a formal gift. The base can be cherry, pearl, champagne, beige or terracotta. For the boss, choose green and blue. White and black shades are used only together. A friend or beloved husband will be delighted with juicy colors and an interesting pattern of wrapping paper. Stick to the rule: bright packaging is a monochromatic decor, calm colors are a bright decoration.
2. The packaging of a man's gift should be neat and accurate. Minimalism is what you need.
3. Avoid a lot of ribbons and bows.
4. pay attention to hobby, profession, age, social status of the person gifted.
5. Packing material.
   • Wrapping or craft paper is a safe, budget-friendly, eco-friendly material that can be used to make many ideas come true. Twine, satin ribbons, figurines made of wood or metal will serve as an excellent decor. You can use a newspaper supplemented with a colored ribbon.
   • Textile. Wrap the gift itself or a box with a present in silk, brocade or satin - and the original packaging is ready.
   • Crumpled paper. Due to the absence of ugly folds, anything non-rectangular will look great in such a package.
6. Gift form.
   • a box is better than a roll;
   • tall, not flat box;
   • delicious gifts are given in baskets;
   • bulk of the package.
7. Appropriate decor.
   • Flowers. You can use artificial, live or dry. Berries, buds, and leaves are fine too.
   • Candies. Better to use oval or round (easy to attach).
   • Small figures. ? You can buy in a store or do it yourself from polymer clay.
   • Satin ribbons (narrow or medium width). You can also tie the gift with a tie, suspenders, or bow tie.
   • Bows. The main thing is not white, not very voluminous.
   • Tags, buttons, coins, tags, pom-poms, clothespins, stickers, brushes.

Age is an important characteristic when choosing a package. Soft colors and high-quality packaging material will suit a serious man, and a young guy - an original design, complemented by funny drawings and congratulations.

Does the man have a hobby? Decorate the gift thematically.

• For music lovers, choose the paper that has the sheet music on it.

• Craft paper and a small toy car attached to a ribbon representing the road will delight the car enthusiast.

• The real traveler will appreciate the packaging made of paper with a print in the form of landmarks or countries or from a map of the world (or you can use unnecessary atlases for children). You can add an airplane figurine as decoration.

• The sportsman will be pleased with the packaging in the form of a sports bag and paper with a print in the form of medals or cups, and the businessman will be pleased with the packaging-suitcase.

• A lover of history will be interested in a craft package tied with twine and decorated with a red wax seal.

• An intelligent man will love a book box. It can be made of wood or cardboard.

In order to interestingly pack a small gift, you can use:

• cloth bag;

• a box (of any shape) is the most popular type of packaging;

• basket;

• bonbonniere;

• casket;

• matchbox in the form of a suitcase.

A big gift is a big package. In this case, the giant box is needed as a decoration. Use a huge cardboard box to decorate such a presentation. Cover it with wrapping paper or other material, tie it with tape and decorate with a large bow. Instead of paper, you can simply stick applications or photographs on the box.

However, these are not all possible options - there are several more interesting ways to present a large gift in an original way.

• Containers and buckets... You definitely did not think about such packaging.

• Wooden boxes. Stylish things for real men.

• Baskets... First, there is a gift in them, and then you can use it on the farm - the so-called double present.

• A car, motorcycle or bicycle can be hidden by Throwing fabric, polysilicon film or decorative paper on top.

• The easiest option is to glue a hat, glasses and mustache, or a tie and bow tie on the gift bag or the gift itself.

• Decorative paper, glue and tape can be used to make packaging in the form of a shirt with real buttons, a T-shirt, or even a vest and shirt.

• A gift wrapped in a men's shirt or sweater looks unusual. Place the shirt on the square box containing the gift, button up, tuck the sleeves down and pin up.

• Pack a bottle of good alcohol in a sleeve from a sweater or shirt, tie it with a beautiful string.

• A gift in a bundle looks creative. This is the Japanese furoshiki technique. A present is wrapped in a square piece of bright and strong fabric, and tied on top.

• Warm knitted packaging. Later, it can be used to make a cute pillow on the sofa. You can knit or use an old sweater.

• Cover the box with canvas with large holes and embroider what the birthday person likes, or even wishes in the form of small drawings.

• Wrap your gift in a custom printed fabric. This can be done using a stencil.

• You can embroider a congratulation or decorative element on wrapping paper. It's a good idea to use a sewing machine and sew the gift into craft paper (the packaging can be in the shape of a star, a Christmas boot, a car, etc.).

• If you are good at drawing, you can color the packaging. Watercolor or gouache, a specific drawing or abstraction - it all depends on your creativity. The uniqueness is guaranteed. Don't know how to draw, but your soul asks for creativity? Use stencils, stamps and seals.

• You can spice up the gift by decorating it with tags made of salted dough (yes, the dough that we have been able to do since school days), or with leaves, branches, cones painted with spray paint (especially golden).

• With glue, glitter and double-sided tape, you can create any design.

• Celtic knot (with the romantic name "Heart"), made of woolen threads, will stylishly complement the gift. The main thing is that it is made by the hands of a beloved girl.

• Sackcloth. It seems strange, but with the right decor it will make the right impression. It is good to give a pet in such a package.

• A gift packed in egg carriages or creatively designed glass jars looks super unusual.
