All wrapped up

Q. I’ve bought my new girlfriend a small present for her birthday, but I’m rubbish at wrapping — any tips to impress?

All wrapped up

A. With a little creativity, you can wow your new girlfriend with your thoughtfulness. When it comes to gift-wrapping, you can’t beat the classic sophistication of a simple white box. Wrap with two co-ordinating red ribbons for an understated yet stylish look.

Instead of setting your gift into Styrofoam pieces, lay it on a bed of hard-boiled sweets. Although this only works well for small gifts, otherwise you’ll end up spending a fortune on sweets. Wrapping gifts in fabric is quite popular at the moment. Not only is it more environmentally-friendly, it looks luxurious too.
