1. It’s Better for the Environment
It’s incredibly easy to waste gift wrap, especially if you go through some trial and error trying to wrap your gift properly. As a result, you end up with unused paper that you have to throw out. However, if you print your wrapping paper from home, you can choose exactly how much you need for your gift, rather than having to deal with an entire roll of paper. If you’re unsure how much you need, measure the dimensions of your gift. For example, if your gift is 17×22 inches, you’ll need about two sheets of my wrapping, which prints well on US letter/A4 sheets. Overall, printing off your wrapping paper cuts down on waste. It also sets a good example to your family about the different ways we can care for the environment, as cutting down on paper waste can save a lot of trees!
2. Allows You to Personalize Your Gift
One of the most fun things about gift-giving is being able to show your friend or family member just how much you care about them. By adding a more personal touch to a gift, that sentiment is well-conveyed! You can scroll through my collection of printable wrapping paper and choose a design that is more suited to the recipient’s style. For example, if your friend loves vintage or antique decor, books, and similar items, you could use my Vintage Handwritten Wrapping Paper, which is available above. Putting that extra effort shows your friends and family that you care about them and take an interest in their life, their interests, and the more detailed parts of their personalities.
3. It’s a Cheaper Alternative to Store-Bought Paper
Gift-giving can be an expensive venture, especially during the holiday season when you’re likely buying presents for multiple people, or if you have a major event coming up (e.g., a wedding). So, printing off your wrapping paper rather than purchasing it is one small way to reduce your expenses when giving gifts to friends and family. This is especially true when it comes to purchasing different wrapping paper for individual people. After all, we all have different design tastes, so using individualized wrapping paper is a nice way to show extra affection and attention to loved ones. However, buying different rolls of wallpaper for each person can be costly. Therefore, why not simply print off a few designs from my collection and give your wallet a breathing space?
4. Can Be a Fun Family Project
Gift-giving is a wonderful opportunity for parents to bond with their children. If your family is giving a gift to a loved one, you can get your kids involved by having them select which wrapping paper design they like best, and teaching them how to wrap gifts. This is particularly fun if your kids also have gifts they want to give to friends and family. You can select some designs you all enjoy, and spend some quality time putting the gifts together. A great occasion for such an activity is if your family has a wedding anniversary coming up. If your kids want to celebrate with you and give you gifts, help them choose a design, print it, and individualize it for their mom, dad, or whoever is on the receiving end! For example, the Lavender Heart Wrapping Paper design available above is perfect for a wedding anniversary.
5. Better for Smaller Gifts
As mentioned above, printing off your own wrapping paper is a great way to prevent waste build-up, especially when you have smaller gifts. Gifts that work great for 8.5in x 11in wrapping paper are books, notebooks, DVDs, stationery sets, phone cases, smartphones, headphones, or other similar items. Overall, using my collection of printable wallpaper will ensure you don’t spend too much time on gift wrap cleanup!
