How to pack sweets as a gift?

Sweets are a traditional gift for various holidays. In order for your present to evoke a storm of emotions, it is very important to package it correctly. The perception of a gift varies greatly depending on the packaging. Just imagine that you are presented with the most delicious sweets, but in a regular bag from the store. What will be your reaction? Therefore, let's figure out how to pack sweets beautifully and in an original way.

In Russia, it is customary to give sweet gifts to children for the New Year. We usually buy them ready-made. But you can get creative with this issue. Today there is no shortage of sweets, so it is inappropriate to give large bags of sweets and marmalades. It will be much more original and valuable to pack sweets in a beautiful box with a New Year theme.

This will require an ordinary box, wrapping craft paper, a couple of spruce branches. Arrange the sweets neatly in the box. There can be muffins, and chocolate, and cupcakes, and marshmallows. Choose for filling those sweets that the recipient loves most of all. Next, we wrap the box with craft paper. It has a pleasant beige tint and always looks very respectable. To prevent the package from opening, secure the folds with a stapler.

If New Year's sweets are familiar to us, then the tradition of giving gingerbread for Christmas was forgotten in the Soviet period, but today it is reviving. You can buy beautiful themed gingerbread in the store or bake it yourself.It is very touching when children themselves decorate them, and then present them to their grandmothers and other relatives.

You can pack each gingerbread or homemade cookies in a separate transparent bag, decorating it with a ribbon or serpentine. Such small gifts can be presented to colleagues as well. This will be relevant and will not hit your wallet.

This is a trend in recent years. Specialized firms will provide you with such services. But is it worth overpaying if you can make such a bouquet with your own hands? It is best to purchase sweets for a bouquet that already have foil packaging and a rounded shape. You can easily find these by weight in the nearest supermarket. We also need long skewers, corrugated paper. The latter should be of two or more colors. The first is green for the stem and leaves, the second is for the decoration of the petals.

Choose the color of the petals as you wish. Different tones can be combined in one bouquet. Cut out several squares from this paper and draw petals on them. To simplify the whole process, it is best that they connect in the center. Next, we straighten each petal a little and give the desired shape. We insert one blank into another, and place our candy in the center.

Now we will focus on the stem and leaves. We wrap the skewer along its entire length with green paper and fix it with glue, cut out and glue a couple of leaves. Now it remains to collect the flower. Using a skewer, pierce the center of the petals so that it enters a little into the candy itself. It remains only to make the required number of flowers and collect them in a bouquet. It should also be wrapped in paper or gift wrap.

The choice of a specific design option for sweets depends on their name. So, small dragees, small sweets without packaging and small cookies are best placed in a jar. But purchased packaged sweets are best packaged in a box. Additional accessories may be added to the box depending on the occasion. For the New Year, you can add small Christmas tree decorations and tinsel. For women on March 8, sweets such as macarons, muffins and cupcakes are suitable, which can be combined in one box with flowers.

If you give sweets to children, then you can be creative with the design. For example, a transparent beautiful jar can be transformed into a funny fawn, bear or kitten. To do this, glue the corresponding elements of the face (eyes, cheeks, mustaches, eyelashes) onto the jar itself. Decorate the lid with ears. They can be easily made from felt. It keeps its shape well and visually resembles felted wool. Sweet gifts for children in boxes can also be supplemented with small stuffed toys.

The clear film is ideal for wrapping homemade cookies, pies and gingerbread houses. In this case, you do not have to worry that it will become stale or germs will get on it. Also, transparent film is indispensable when you want to place a gift in a basket or bowl. Baskets and trays can be bought or made by yourself. It will be more practical to purchase a semicircular transparent bowl. She will not hide all the beauty of the gift; in the future, the hostess will be able to use it in the kitchen.

If you want to diversify a sweet gift, then you can put fruits in a bowl or box. Exotic fruits and berries will look especially original. After filling with sweets, a bowl or basket must be wrapped in a transparent film and decorated with ribbons and a bow.

One of the trends in recent years has been the use of craft paper for wrapping flowers and gifts. It seems to send us back in time.Sometimes she even stylizes it as a newspaper. Such options, no doubt, will be appreciated not only by people of the older generation, but also by young people. There are a lot of options for wrapping paper today. If you give sweets, then you can arrange them in the form of a large candy. It is enough to place them in a cylinder (you can make them out of Whatman paper) and wrap them in beautiful foil paper. On the sides it is worth twisting and tying ribbons.

Children will appreciate the unusual design of a gift in children's backpacks. Thus, you will get two gifts at once - both sweets and a backpack, with which you can then walk. Making sweets as a gift is a joyful and enjoyable process. Get creative with it. Feel free to experiment and bring your wildest ideas to life. And then a surge of positive emotions in your loved ones is guaranteed.
