Gift Wrapping Tips & Tricks

 


At Eco Modern Concierge we are gift wrapping experts and we help residential and business clients all over Houston and beyond with their gift wrap needs. From shopping, organizing gift wrap, organizing the gift wrap process, meeting deadlines and trying to get things done early, etc. It can be a tedious time consuming thing that many people do not want to do. So if this is something you don't like doing consider hiring a professional organizer or concierge to help you get this task done. 

  • Always use excess ribbon.
  • It is best to use a medium to heavy grade paper. 
  • If you are doing special things to your presents like pleating the paper buy paper that has grids. 
  • Buy gift wrap & ribbon at the end of the season when it is inexpensive and practice, practice, practice. 
  • There are many ways to measure paper so you get the exact amount like going 2/3rds up the side, measuring 1/2 from the middle of the box, using a ruler (handy on large packages), etc. 
  • Measure ribbon by getting a tail on the ribbon and measure 5x by the longest edge. You would rather have too much than too little ribbon. 
  • Place the top of the package facing down when you are wrapping. 
  • Use fabric scissors only on ribbon, not gift wrap.
  • Use double stick tape to get the no edge look.
  • Use clear twist ties to secure special bows and embellishments.
