| Wrap Your Gardening Gifts in Love |
If you’re looking for ways to make your gardening gifts unique, try wrapping them in love and show your loved one you care. You can gift wrap gardening gifts the traditional way, or you can get just a little more creative with your gift wrapping. Here are some ideas to give your gift-wrap a personal touch.
Garden Statues and Other Large Gardening Gift Items
Use creative party decorations instead of gift wrap for large gardening gifts such as full-size garden statues, birdbaths, arbors, a garden trellis, garden fountains, or patio furniture. You can tie big bows and balloons along with a card attached to decorate the gift.
Or, decorate the garden statue or fountain in plant or vegetable seed packs. To do this:
- Use a hole-puncher to punch small holes in the very corner of each seed pack.
- Be sure not to puncture the container where the seeds can spill.
- Thread ribbon through each hole and tie it around the statue, birdbath, or patio furniture with excess curly ribbon hanging for extra decoration.
Gift Wrap for Bird Houses or Bird Feeders
Birdhouses and bird feeders are more minor items. You can easily place them in a gardening gift basket and 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 colorful cut shreds and fillers. Wrap the basket in a clear or colored shrink dome bag, and finish with a beautiful bow assortment and gift card.
Small Garden Sculptures and Other Lawn Decorations
There are garden-themed gift boxes that give your loved one just a “hint” of what’s inside. Gift wrapping small garden sculptures and other lawn decorations is a cinch with themed gift boxes. Fill the container with several of their favorite gardening decor items – a small garden sculpture, a wind chime, a suncatcher, along with some seeds, a small bag of soil, and a decorative planter. It’s sure to fill their heart as well!
Other Gift-Wrap Ideas
Gardening gifts can also complement other items not mainly for gardening or lawn decoration. These might be a new coffee mug with a special-blend coffee, gourmet chocolate treats, baking mixes, or pampering products for women such as lotions and bath oils. The male gardener might enjoy some new household tools, tickets to a ball game, or new work shoes. Items such as these make great “extras” along with gardening gifts during the holidays or for any occasion.
Instead of wrapping paper, you can use decorative garden-themed gift bags for a quick, easy gift-wrap alternative. There are also tie-up gift bags that are colored or decorated for convenience. Wood crate baskets are also famous for gardening gifts. These are small, decorative crates made of wood great for giving jars of jams or preserves, small potted plants or flowers, and other small gardening items.
Use these gardening gift wrapping techniques to make a great first impression when you present gifts to your friends and loved ones!
