The magic of unwrapping presents
#giftlove
  • It has long been scientifically proven that giving a gift makes you happier than receiving one. But the magic of gift-giving is more than just finding the perfect present, it is a unique experience that is reflected in every detail of gift-giving. This includes the special wrapping paper that you don't want to throw away after unwrapping, the lovingly written greeting card that finds its perfect place on the sideboard or the beautiful gift tag - all these things make the gift a unique highlight!

    Have you ever wondered why you don't just hand over the gift like that, but wrap it up elaborately in wrapping paper and ribbon? Ever since the invention of paper in the 2nd century, goods and gifts have been wrapped in paper in China. On the one hand, of course, to protect the goods from soiling or damage, but also to increase the excitement of handing over the gift to the recipient. Imagine if all the presents lay unwrapped under the Christmas tree and you could immediately see what you were getting - where would the tingling and anticipation be?

    From classic wrapping paper with a festive sheen to environmentally friendly packaging - the variety of options is almost endless. Personalized gift bags with the recipient's favorite pattern or handmade boxes with a loving touch - each choice reflects not only the contents, but also our dedication to gift-giving. And what gift would be complete without the glossy finishing touch provided by the ribbon? The right gift ribbon not only adds a special elegance to the outer appearance, but also rounds off the overall presentation. Just as important as the ribbon is the gift card, which expresses the thoughts and emotions behind the gift. Whether words written from the heart, a poetic quote or a humorous message - the gift card is the personal fingerprint that turns the gift into something unique. In our quest for the perfect gift, we must therefore not forget how these seemingly small details, which only really unfold their magic when unwrapped, become an indispensable part of the festive ritual.
"Giving means giving something to someone else that you would love to keep for yourself."
Selma Lagerlöf
  • The finished wrapped gift says a lot about the giver and their personality. There are the perfectionists for whom every detail of the gift wrapping must be flawless. Perfect folds, color-coordinated ribbon - for them, the packaging is just as important as the gift itself. The last-minute creatives may have bought the gift at the last minute, but they conjure up impressive packaging with improvised materials and creative tricks. For the sentimental, gift wrapping is a trip down memory lane. Perhaps they keep ribbons or cards as mementos and reuse some of them. The artistically gifted have mastered the art of creative wrapping techniques, from origami to elaborate bows. For them, the packaging is an expression of their creativity, elaborate and beautiful gift wrapping is an expression of affection and increases the anticipation of the gift. Sometimes they are so beautiful that you don't even want to unwrap them. Some even keep the wrapping paper.
