How to pack a mug as a gift?

During the holidays, the choice of gifts becomes one of the most difficult tasks. I would like to please everyone without exception (even the most distant acquaintances), but fit into the budget. That is why you have to come up with interesting, but inexpensive gifts. An excellent option for such a presentation could be a mug. In addition, the gift is often not as important as its packaging.

If you think about the proper decoration of the gift, then even the most ordinary cup will turn into a surprise. We will talk about how to properly arrange and pack a mug as a gift in today's article.

If you decide to buy a thermomug or a cup with a saucer, then most likely these items are sold in original factory packaging. You just have a little to do - pack the box in a beautiful gift paper. To do this, you first need to choose the same packaging paper.

You can choose the options that will be associated with the holiday, on the occasion of which you give a present (for example, snowflakes for the New Year or hearts on Valentine's Day), or more universal varieties (flowers, stripes, abstract patterns).

In addition to paper, you will need glue (or tape), a ruler and scissors. Using a ruler, measure the size of the box, and then cut the required amount of paper (just in case this should be done with a margin). Cover the box with cut paper and let it dry. The box can be glued both inside and out, or only from the outside. Optionally, you can add additional decorative elements: ribbons, beads, bows and so on.

It will be color or print, plain or combine several shades. You just have to put a gift in a box and you can go on a holiday.

In this case, you again have several options - buy a ready-made gift bag or create it yourself. The latter option is preferable, as it individualizes and personalizes your gift according to the preferences of the donee.

So, to create an original DIY gift bag, you will need foil or any other wrapping paper (this is used in flower shops for packing flowers). You can choose transparent paper or colored paper (plain or with patterns). In the second case, it will be possible to keep the intrigue to the last.

The following algorithm of actions should be followed:

1. cut a square from gift paper depending on the size of the mug;
2. place a mug on top of it;
3. gather all the ends above the mug;
4. tie your present with decorative ribbon or rope;
5. attach a small wish card to it.

A holiday mug can be given without any external packaging. However, in this case, you need to take care of its internal content. It should be selected based on the personal preferences of the person to whom your present is intended. For example, a sweet tooth will like sweets and chocolates, in the New Year it is appropriate to fill a cup with tea and coffee bags.

If you give such a gift on March 8, then inside the mug you can put cosmetics and care products: lip gloss, mascara, mask and so on. For those who are ready to make a more expensive gift, a gift with small jewelry or accessories for gadgets, such as headphones, may be suitable. In this case, you are limited only by your imagination and financial capabilities.

If you have creative abilities, and also know how to knit or sew, then you can independently create a special cover for the mug as a gift. Obviously, in this case there are no restrictions.

Based on the size of the mug, sew a small cover, combining several pieces of fabric, and then embroider a pattern on it (this may be a thematic pattern in honor of the holiday or the name of the person to whom you are giving a present).

And you can also knit a cover for a mug using knitting needles or a hook. Use plain or multi-colored threads as you wish. Choose your favorite colors from the donee.
