Ok, so, you wanna know how to gift wrap cosmetics, huh? Well, it ain’t rocket science, let me tell ya. It is easy peasy job, you see. You just gotta have the right stuff and know a few tricks, and you’ll be wrapping those lipsticks and eyeshadows like a pro in no time.
First things first, you need some wrapping paper. Now, you can use any kind, but I like the shiny kind with the pretty pictures. Makes it look real fancy, you know? Some folks like that plain brown paper, but I say, where’s the fun in that? Life’s too short for boring wrapping paper, I always say. And it is best to choose some related to cosmetics, like lipstick patterns, or some lip patterns.
Then, you gotta have some tape. Don’t be stingy with the tape, neither. You want that paper to stay put, right? Nothing worse than a present coming unwrapped before it’s even opened. I have seen some folks use glue, but I don’t like it. Too messy. Tape is your best bet. Clear tape, the invisible kind, that’s what you want. You could buy some colorful tape, either.
Now, for the cosmetics. If it is small size, like lipsticks or those little bottles of nail polish, best to put them in box first. Any old box will do, long as it’s the right size. You can even use a shoebox if you’re wrapping a bunch of stuff together. Or you can buy some box designed for gift. If it is big size, like the perfume, you can wrap it directly.
Next, put cosmetics in the middle of your wrapping paper. Make sure you got enough paper to cover the whole thing. If you don’t have a big enough piece, you can tape two pieces together. Ain’t no shame in that. No one’s gonna know, cept you and me. It is a good choice to wrap cosmetics.
Fold one side of the paper over the box, and tape it down. Then fold the other side over, and tape that down too. Make sure it’s nice and tight. Then, you gotta deal with the ends. Fold them in, like you’re making a little triangle. Then fold that up and tape it down. Do the same on the other end. There, you got a wrapped present! But the job does not finish yet.
But wait, we ain’t done yet! Gotta make it look pretty, right? That’s where the ribbon comes in. Now, you can just tie a simple bow, and that’s fine. But if you wanna get real fancy, you can make one of them curly bows. You just gotta wrap the ribbon around your fingers a bunch of times, then tie a knot in the middle, and fluff it out. Looks real nice, takes a bit of practice, though.
- wrapping paper, colorful is better, some related to cosmetics pattern is best.
- tape, clear one is good, colorful one is OK.
- ribbon, make a bow to decorate the gift.
- scissors, you need this to cut paper and ribbon.
- box, to hold the cosmetics.
Some folks like to add other things to their presents, like those little gift tags. You can write the person’s name on it, and a little message. I usually just write “To” and “From.” Keeps it simple. Or you can add some tulle, just make the gift more beautiful.
And there you have it! That’s how you gift wrap cosmetics. It ain’t hard, once you get the hang of it. Just remember to have fun with it. It’s the thought that counts, right? Even if your wrapping ain’t perfect, the person getting the gift will appreciate the effort. They will be happy to receive the gift you wrap, I am sure.
Oh, and one more thing. Don’t forget to take the price tag off! Nothing worse than someone seeing how much you spent on their gift. Unless it is your best friend, your sister, your daughter. If you are wrapping for you mama, keep the price tag to show how much you love her. But if you are wrapping for others, just peel it off. Some price tag is hard to peel, you need to use your nail. It is not an easy job. If you do not have nail, use scissors.
So, go on and get wrapping! And don’t be afraid to get creative. There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Just do what feels right to you. After all, it’s your gift, and you should wrap it however you want. As long as you put some love into it, it’ll be perfect. If you follow my tips, you will wrap the cosmetics gift successfully. Go ahead, try it. Practice makes perfect, you will be a gift wrap expert some day. Do not worry about the degree of gift wrapper, just wrap it. Wrapping gift is not a hard job, do not need much education. You see, I can do it well, so you can, too.
If you have some other beautiful things, you can also put them on the gift, such as some flowers, some cards. Some people like to use raffia, make the gift looks better. I do not know what raffia is, but I know it is used for wrapping gift. If you have raffia, just use it. Do not waste money on things you do not need. Use what you have. That is my suggestion. Make good use of everything. I hope my suggestion will help you to wrap the cosmetics gift.
