When it comes to wrapping gifts, there are two kinds of people…
Those who spend a lot of time to make them perfect and those who don’t understand why you spend any time on the what the OUTSIDE of a gift looks like.
Actually it’s possible to create a beautiful presentation without much time, money or creativity.
So just in time for Father’s Day, we’ve discovered cute, quick & easy gift wrapping ideas to wrap a gift without losing your time, money or mind!
1. ULINE // www.uline.com
If they don’t have it at Uline, they don’t make it…
We’ll that’s not completely true, I’ve never found a better resource for finding just the right container. Uline is actually one of the largest online resources for shipping supplies and packaging for companies. While you do have to purchase in large quantities, the pricing makes it all worth it. While orders are shipped directly to you same-day, we’re lucky in DFW because you can go pick yours up directly at one of their shipping centers based in Coppell. Just take a look at just a few samples of fun containers I’ve found for gift giving and they’re also the ideal resource for favor boxes for birthday parties.
For dad’s day I used this paint can and filled it full of candy – then wrote “Dad’s Stache” for a candy basket that he’ll love. Also, you can source something basic like a blank gift sack and then let the kids create their own special packaging with paint, colors, etc. that dad might love more than the gift!
