Why beautiful gift wrappings are important

The wrapping of a gift is the first impression and creates a special atmosphere even before unwrapping. With a lovingly designed cover, you show that you have put in effort and value the person you are gifting to. The unwrapping becomes a small event that evokes positive feelings. Especially with monetary gifts or vouchers, the wrapping often makes a difference - it adds a personal touch to the abstract value and shows your appreciation. Psychologists confirm that the type of wrapping affects the expectation and appreciation of the gift. A creative wrapping can even have a greater emotional value than the gift itself. Especially children enjoy colorful, lovingly designed packages and often enjoy the unwrapping even more than the contents.
