How to pack sweets as a gift?

Sweets are a traditional gift for various holidays. In order for your present to cause a storm of emotions, it is very important to pack it correctly. Gift perception varies greatly depending on the packaging. Just imagine that you were 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 in a beautiful and original way.

In Russia, it is customary to give sweet gifts to children for the New Year. Usually we buy them ready-made. But you can approach this issue creatively. Today there is no shortage of sweets, so it is impractical to give large packets of sweets and marmalades. It will be much more original and more valuable to pack sweets in a beautiful box with New Year's theme.

To do this, you need a regular box, wrapping craft paper, a couple of fir branches. Gently place the sweets in a box. There can be cupcakes, and chocolate, and cupcakes, and marshmallows. Choose for filling those sweets that the giftee loves the most. Next, wrap the box with craft paper. It has a nice beige hue 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. Beautiful themed gingerbread cookies can be bought at the store or baked by yourself.It’s very touching when the children decorate them themselves, and then present them to their grandmothers and other relatives.

Each gingerbread or homemade cookie can be packaged in a separate transparent bag, decorating it with a ribbon or serpentine. Such small gifts can be presented to colleagues. This will be relevant and will not hit the wallet.

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

Choose the color of the petals as you wish. In one bouquet, you can combine different colors. From this paper we cut out several squares and draw petals on them. To simplify the whole process, it is better that they are connected in the center. Next, each petal is slightly expanded and we give the desired shape. We insert one piece into another, and put our candy in the center.

Now let's deal with the stem and leaves. We wrap the skewer along the 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. We pierce the center of the petals with a skewer so that it fits a little into the candy itself. It remains only to make the right amount of flowers and collect them in a bouquet. It should also be 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 better to arrange in a jar. But purchased packaged sweets are best packaged in a box. Depending on the occasion, additional accessories may be added to the box. For the New Year you can add small Christmas toys and tinsel. Women on March 8 will enjoy sweets such as macaroons, muffins and cupcakes, which can be combined in one box with flowers.

If you give sweets to children, then the design can be approached creatively. For example, a beautiful transparent jar can be transformed into a funny deer, bear or kitten. To do this, attach the corresponding muzzle elements (eyes, cheeks, mustache, cilia) to the jar itself. Cover the ears. They can easily be made of felt. It holds its shape well and visually resembles felted wool. Sweet gifts for children in boxes can also be supplemented with small soft toys.

Transparent film is ideal for packing homemade cookies, pies and gingerbread houses. In this case, you don’t have to worry that it will become stale or that microbes will get on it. Also, transparent film is indispensable when you want to make a gift in a basket or bowl. You can buy baskets and trays, or you can do it yourself. More practical is the acquisition of a semicircular transparent bowl. She will not hide 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, the bowl or basket must be packed in a transparent film and decorated with ribbons and a bow.

One of the trends of recent years has been the use of craft paper for packaging flowers and gifts. She seems to send us into the past.Sometimes it even stylizes a newspaper. Such options, no doubt, will be appreciated not only by older people, 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 big candy. It is enough to place them in a cylinder (can be made from a Whatman paper) and wrap them in beautiful foil paper. On its 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 - and sweets, and a backpack, with which you can then walk. Making sweets as a gift is a joyful and enjoyable process. Get creative with him. Do not be afraid to experiment and bring to life the most daring ideas. And then a surge of positive emotions in your loved ones is provided.
