How to pack a mug as a gift?

During the holidays, the choice of gifts becomes one of the most difficult tasks. I want to please everyone without exception (even the most distant acquaintances), but fit into the budget. That is why you have to invent interesting, but inexpensive gifts. An excellent option for such a presentation can be a circle. In addition, the gift is often not as important as its packaging.

If you think about the correct design of a gift, then even the most ordinary cup will turn into a surprise. On how to properly arrange and pack a mug as a gift, we'll talk in today's article.

If you decide to buy a thermocup or a cup with a saucer, then, most likely, such items are sold in original factory packages. All you have to do is pack a box in beautiful gift paper. To do this, you first need to choose the very wrapping paper.

You can choose the options that will be associated with the holiday, on the occasion of which you are giving a present (for example, snowflakes for the New Year or hearts on Valentine's Day), or more versatile types (flowers, stripes, abstract patterns).

In addition to paper, you will need glue (or tape), a ruler and scissors. Using a ruler, measure the size of the box, and then cut the required amount of paper (just in case it should be done with a margin). Tape over the box with the cut paper and let it dry. The box can be glued both from the inside and the outside, or only from the outside. Optionally, you can add additional decorative elements: ribbons, beads, bows, and so on.

It will be colored or printed, monophonic or combine several shades. You just have to put a gift in the box and you can go on holiday.

In this case, you again have several options - buy a ready-made gift bag or create it yourself. The latter option is more preferable, since it individualizes and personalizes your gift according to the preferences of the donee.

So, to create an original gift bag with your own hands, you will need foil or any other wrapping paper (this is used in flower shops for packing flowers). You can choose transparent paper or colored (plain or with patterns). In the second case, it turns out to keep the intrigue to the last.

The following algorithm should be followed:

1. depending on the size of the mug, cut a square out of gift paper;
2. put a cup on top of it;
3. gather all ends above the mug;
4. tie up your gift with a decorative ribbon or rope;
5. Attach to it a small postcard with wishes.

A holiday mug can be presented without any external packaging. However, in this case, you need to take care of its internal content. It should be selected on the basis of personal preferences of the person to whom your gift is intended. For example, a sweet tooth will like sweets and chocolates, in the New Year it is appropriate to fill a cup with tea bags and coffee.

If you give such a gift on March 8, then you can put cosmetic and care products inside the mug: lip gloss, mascara, mask and so on.For those who are ready to make a more expensive gift, a gift with small jewelry or gadget accessories, such as headphones, may be suitable. In this case, you are limited only by your imagination and financial capabilities.

If you have creative abilities, as well as know how to knit or sew, then you can independently create a special case for a cup as a gift. Obviously, in this case there are no restrictions.

Based on the size of the mug, sew a small case by connecting several pieces of fabric, and then embroider the pattern on it (this can be a thematic pattern in honor of a holiday or the name of the person to whom you are giving a present).

And you can also tie a case for a mug using knitting needles or a hook. Use plain or multi-colored threads according to your wishes. Choose your favorite color shades of the donee.
