Are you looking for ways to make your gardening gifts really unique? Try to wrap them in love and show your loved one you really care.
You can gift wrap gardening gifts the traditional way, or you can get just a little bit more creative with your gift wrapping to give it a personal touch.
For large gardening gifts such as full-size garden statues, birdbaths, arbours, a garden trellis, garden fountains, or patio furniture, use creative party decorations instead of gift wrap. You can tie big ribbons and balloons along with a card attached to decorate the gift.
Another way is to decorate the garden statue or fountain in plant or vegetable seed packs. Simply use a hole-puncher to punch small holes in the very corner of each seed pack. Make sure not to puncture the pack where the seeds could spill. Thread ribbon through each of the holes and tie them around the statue, birdbath, or patio furniture with excess curly ribbon hanging for extra decoration.
Bird houses and bird feeders are smaller items so you can easily place them in a gardening gift basket along with other gardening items such as bird seeds, vegetable or flower seed packs, unique garden tools, and other small garden decoration items. Fill the empty spaces in the basket with colourful cut shreds and fillers. Wrap the basket in a clear or coloured shrink dome bag, and finish with a beautiful bow assortment and a gift card.
Gift wrapping small garden sculptures and other lawn decorations is a cinch with themed gift boxes. There are garden-themed gift boxes that give your loved one just a ‘hint’ of what is inside. Fill the box with several of their favourite gardening decor items – a small garden sculpture, a wind chime, a sun catcher, along with some seeds, a small bag of soil, and a decorative planter. This is sure to fill their heart as well!
Gardening gifts can also be complemented by other items that are not particularly for gardening or lawn decoration. This could be a new coffee mug with a special-blend coffee, gourmet chocolate treats (could you resist?), baking mixes, or pampering products for women such as lotions and bath oils. And the male gardener might enjoy some new household tools, tickets to a ball game, or some new work shoes. Items such as these make great ‘Extras’ along with gardening gifts during the holidays or for any occasion.
Use decorative garden-themed gift bags instead of wrapping paper for a quick, easy gift wrap alternative. There are tie-up gift bags that are coloured or decorated for convenience.
Wood crate baskets are also popular for gardening gifts. These are small, decorative crates made of wood that are great for giving jars of jams or preserves, small potted plants or flowers, and other small gardening items.
Using some of these gardening gift wrapping techniques, and of course there is no limit for your own ideas, might make a great impression when you present your gifts to your friends and loved ones.
Take a walk through ‘Garden Lover’s Paradise’ and you will certainly find one or another item, worth to be looked at and wrapped as a unique present to a special friend.
