Why Beautiful Gift Wrapping is Important

A beautiful wrapping is like a frame for a piece of art – it enhances the value of the content and shows your appreciation. Especially for monetary gifts, the wrapping makes a crucial difference. Instead of handing over a plain envelope, you present a small work of art that evokes anticipation and makes unwrapping a special moment. Studies even show that elaborate wrapping increases the appreciation for the gift – the recipient feels more valued and remembers your gesture longer. With children, the effect is particularly strong: the colorful colors and the crackling of the paper create excitement and make the surprise even greater. Your homemade wrapping is also a personal statement that shows: there’s love in it.
