So, you’ve picked out the perfect OM for that special someone. Now, how are you planning to wrap it? While small-sized accessories like wallets are easy to stash in a stocking, bags and backpacks can prove challenging when it comes time to wrap. Just in time for the holiday season, we’re sharing a few of our out-of-the-box ideas for creatively wrapping your gifts.
Yarn Wrapping
A handy material, wrapping with yarn is a great way to secure your gift while giving it an elegant and homespun accent against the box or neutral leather itself. Try wrapping green yarn multiple times to create a tree design, or opt for a colorful pom pom instead of a traditional bow.
Natural Elements
Sometimes, the best wrapping inspiration can be found in your own backyard. Forage for sprigs of fresh greenery, berry stems and pinecones to create a nature-inspired gift that perfectly compliments the down-to-earth persona of our bags. Pair your findings with neutral-toned paper for a rustic presentation.
Paper Bundle
With the proper technique, a box isn’t always required for wrapping a gift. Using craft paper, wrap your bag as you would a package. Gather the paper tightly directly above the present with the paper edges flaring out, and tie the parcel with classic holiday ribbon or twine for a shabby-chic look.
Hard-to-Wrap Shape
Large bags and backpacks present a problem. When you’re looking to wrap them without giving away what exactly is inside, try taking a page out of Santa’s book and use a festive sack or pillowcase to act as a duster bag and disguise the hard-to-wrap gift.
Make the Bag Part of the Gift
When in doubt, go simple and let the bag speak for itself! Pop it under the tree with a simple bow, or create a nesting doll situation by filling the bag or backpack with smaller OM items inside. Bonus points if you tuck an OM gift card in one of the pockets!
