A series is coming winter holidays, and we all prepare gifts for our loved ones. Come up with a gift for your man– an important matter, but how to present it? How to pack a man's gift in an original way? We'll talk about this today.

The choice of gift packaging for a man is greatly influenced by its content, as well as who you are going to give it to. Of course, first we decide on the gift. We evaluate its shape and size. Consider the time of delivery. How will you take him? Is it comfortable to carry? Think over this point especially well if you are going to give it away from home. If your gift is destined to travel with you, choose practical materials and take care of protection from external factors(precipitation, transportation to public transport etc.) so that your original packaging for a gift for a man is not damaged.

It is worth taking into account the status, age, hobbies, and profession of the recipient. For serious business men, restrained colors and high quality materials from which the packaging is made.

If your boyfriend is seriously interested in creativity or is immersed in his business, you can prepare themed packaging related to his hobby.

We asked men how important packaging is to them, what their ideal gift from their beloved should look like, this is what they answered:

Ilya: “A gift for a man should be beautifully packaged, you need to make sure that the packaging intrigues you and makes you want to open it. It is possible that the packaging contains some kind of surprise. It is imperative that the gift be framed in dark colors(dark blue, steel, black, brown) with a soft ribbon or twine).”

Vladimir: “If a girl makes a gift with love, with her own hands or to order, then I will be delighted even with a bag of seeds. I’m a dancer, and for me, packaging designed in the appropriate theme hits the spot!”
Rostislav: “I like thick cardboard boxes in dark colors. A friend was recently given a gift decorated in a book box, it looked very original and stylish. I would like this too."
Thus, men approach gift decoration completely differently than we girls do. They like strict forms subdued colors and minimalism in design. At the same time, they are not averse to receiving a gift, decorated in an original way, with a “secret” or made with their own hands.

True, when taking on a gift design, it is absolutely necessary to take into account the situation of presenting the gift and the specifics of the recipient. For example, a gift design for a boss will be different from a gift design for best friend, and the packaging for women differs from the design for men.

We are looking for and finding ideas for stylish and original presentation design.

What color should the gift wrapping be?

Choosing a color to decorate a gift for a man is a completely special issue. It should not be boring, provocative, too “feminine” or too strict. What to choose for gift wrapping?

When making an official or celebratory gift No more than two primary colors are allowed and a third is allowed as an accent color. It is better not to choose white and black separately as background colors. Limit your use to accents. You can use a black and white combination as the main color scheme. For an official gift, cherry and beige, pearlescent champagne color combined with coffee, moss color and terracotta are suitable. It is better to combine blue with yellow, cream, but not with white. For accents, choose gold and silver, scarlet and grass green, cornflower blue and orange;
Making a gift for a friend or loved one allows you to experiment with colors and patterns. You can choose Turkish cucumbers or Japanese characters, bright geometric shapes or prints. If you choose bright, colorful paper for gift wrapping, then it is better to prefer plain ribbons, and let the decor be monochromatic, matching the tone of the paper. If you settled on a material of one or two colors, you can choose brighter and more intricate decorations.

What to pack a man's gift?

Ordinary wrapping paper is not all you can limit yourself to when decorating a surprise for the stronger sex. Please note the following packaging materials options:

Textile. This is a relatively new, but confidently popular trend in gift design. The material can be very diverse: heavy silk, satin, even brocade. Leave light silk, chiffon, organza for women. You can cover the box with fabric, directly wrap the gift, or use Japanese technology furoshiko, with tying a gift in a kind of knot;
Crinkled paper. It was popular a few years ago, but since they started making it gift bags, loses its relevance. However, it is convenient to use when you need to decorate a gift with uneven shapes, for example, a soft paper package. Regular glossy paper lays out in unsightly folds, but crinkled paper will hide all the unevenness;
Wrapping paper. Environmental friendliness and natural materials are still at the peak of popularity. Therefore, brown paper, most similar to ordinary packaging paper, good choice to create a truly stylish design. Sometimes a one-color or two-color pattern is applied to such material. Japanese motifs look especially impressive - hieroglyphs, calligraphic writing, drawings imitating Japanese engraving painting. Having wrapped the gift in such paper, connect coarse jute twine and a ribbon of delicate contrasting satin light color. Bandage the gift. It is better to choose compositions made from natural materials as decoration.

What shape should the packaging be?

The classic form for packing a gift for a man is a square or round box or package. Eat A few nuances that will help you make your gift as pleasant as possible for a man:

Volume. Let any of your packaging be voluminous. Even if you are presenting a photograph, vinyl record or other flat object, place it in a box with sides;
Height. When choosing a gift box, choose a tall and elongated one rather than a narrow and flat one. Don't forget that you are giving a gift to a man;
If there is a choice - pack the gift in a box, not a bundle. Men subconsciously consider everything soft to be feminine;
Can be used beautifully decorated baskets. They traditionally serve everything related to food and drinks: tea, coffee, wine, cheeses, jam, fruit. Wooden boxes, balloons, and fabric gift bags made of velvet or fleece are also used to pack men's gifts.

Decorating a gift for a man

When decorating a gift for a representative of the stronger sex, it is necessary to take into account some rules. What is suitable for decorating gift wrapping for a man?

Tapes for dressing. They should be narrow or medium wide. Do you want an original type of gift? Take several narrow strips of satin, a bandage, connect everything together and make a gift;
Bows. Discreet, not very lush, and not white. If you want to add a light accent, use the following colors: splashes of champagne, meringue, milk, ivory;
Flower arrangements. You can use fresh and dried flowers, branches, moss, bunches of berries, natural, dry or artificial. For loved ones, you can use knitted elements or fleece appliqués;
Sweets and dried fruits. This design is also quite appropriate when decorating a man’s gift. It is better to take round or oval candies; they are convenient to attach to a gift;
Figurines. Themed decorations work well. For example, a musical instrument will decorate a gift for a servant of the muses, a trowel will suit a builder, a car will hint at the profession of a driver, and a pen and inkwell will symbolize the writing vocation. Such figures can be bought at a toy or souvenir store, or made from polymer clay and then bake in the oven.

Annual registration New Year's surprise ranks far from last. Individuality can emphasize the value of a gift.

Current trends 2020

Currently, the following areas of gift wrapping have become very popular:

Eco-style;
Minimalism;
Eclecticism and futurism.

When wrapping a holiday gift in an ecological style, natural tools are used - natural shades, different textures and nothing artificial.

Often they use craft paper, tied with a bow made from ordinary rope, decorated with natural elements - flowers, pine cones, fir branches.

Minimalism is rigor and restraint. There should be a single thought here - simplicity.

When decorating, a minimum of elements is used, for example, the gift is wrapped in ordinary paper, and a small tag indicating the name of the recipient acts as decoration.

Futurism and eclecticism are suitable for those who like to combine several directions at the same time.

This could include a fancy satin ribbon bow and paper decoration, or a fabric box with a small decorative pin.

So, in order for the surprise design to be unforgettable and fashionable, you need to apply style and be attentive. The initial result depends on the quality.

Original boxes in hand-made style

The most popular method of presenting a holiday gift is a cardboard box. It's very easy to do:

You can find a template on the Internet or draw it yourself on a piece of cardboard.
Cut the workpiece and assemble it according to the lines on the diagram.
Glue the box where necessary. It is better to use double-sided tape, as it does not leave marks or smudges.
Decorate the box. If decorative stickers are used, it is recommended to apply them before assembly. Dry the box and you can put in a surprise.

Such a box can be of absolutely any shape, for example, a pyramid or even candy. Let's look at the process of making candy. For this you will need:

Colored cardboard;
Pencil and ruler;
Stationery knife;
Sample;
Glue;
Thread.

So, in order:

Let's transfer the candy stencil onto the cardboard.
Cut along the contour lines and make slits with a stationery knife.
Press firmly along the folds with a ruler to create a crease.
Place a surprise in the center of the workpiece and wrap it up.
Tie neat bows at the twisting points.

You can also make a box in the shape of a piece of birthday cake. To do this you will need a thick colored canvas or thin cardboard, a ruler, a pencil and glue. You won’t spend more than 30 minutes making it.

Transfer the template to paper of the color you like. Cut out the blanks and bend along the marked lines. Glue the box together, then start decorating.

Beautifully wrapped

We know how to make boxes, all we have to do is learn how to beautifully seal the gift with our own hands.

You can limit yourself to just a box, or you can make something interesting. The packaging should look neat - all cuts are smooth without traces of glue (as mentioned earlier, you must use double-sided tape). She must completely hide the surprise. Don't forget about the name card - this is the part of the decor that always catches your eye.

Sequential packaging steps:

The box is wrapped in paper and the places where it needs to be cut are marked. Trim, leaving a margin of a couple of centimeters.
Tape the long edges on both sides.
Fold the short edges into a trapezoid and glue with double-sided tape.
Do the same on the opposite side.

This is a classic wrap, then let’s look at the packaging in the shape of a Christmas tree:

Place the surprise closer to the edge of the paper.
We bend the bottom edge of the paper, enveloping the gift.
Then we bend the sides to the ends.
You will get various valves in the form of triangles.
They are folded in such a way as if a pigtail is being braided.
