Greaseproof Paper

A classic combination of brown paper and ribbon is a traditional trend that is is always a popular choice when it comes to gift wrapping.

Tissue Paper

Use patterned tissue paper or create your own with homemade stamps for a simple and cost effective way to wrap your gifts. This lightweight material is great for adding a personalised touch.

Tinfoil

Not the most traditional of materials this one is a little bit out there and requires a bit of imagination. Simply wrap your gift in tinfoil and then embellish with a beautiful ribbon or some string in a bright colour to make it pop.

Newspaper

A cheap way to get an old fashioned feel. For an extra special touch why not use a special dated newspaper or one with a puzzle on to complete for anyone who likes a brainteaser.

Scarves

Using scarves adds texture and a warm wintery feel under the Christmas tree. Add a matching ribbon and tie in a bow to hold the present together. This also gives the recipient another special gift that they wouldn't have expected.

Tea Towels

For nick nacks or small items, pop them into a cardboard tube that you can then wrap in a festive tea towel. Then twist and secure the ends with ribbon or tape to form a cracker like parcel. This way they'll never be able to guess what you have bought them either.

Wallpaper

Use printed wallpaper samples or leftover clippings for a creative way to wrap up your gifts this Christmas. Finish with textured string or metallic ribbon for a modern twist. Available in a wide range of colours, patterns and textures you can personalise each one to suit the recipient.

Crepe Paper

For a rustic approach to wrapping crepe paper is a quick and easy way to wrap up presents but still make them look a little bit different. Crinkle or rouche the paper for an extra bit of texture and finish with a bow.
