Parcels received - gift wrap

[the funky fairy]

Hi there

Since I send out lots of lovely little shoes boxes I am always looking for news ways to wrap them up. I thought I would put a post on here for anyone "creative" to give me some suggestions on wrapping/packaging.

Hi Vicki,

Apart from the usual boxes and jiffy bags it is difficult to think of many alternative ways to package your orders up (well it is for me being a bloke, and you know how good men are at wrapping presents...not). Obviously the more money you spend on packaging the less profit you make because there is only a certain amount people would be willing to pay for packaging/delivery.

On our forest bears website we give the shopper the option of purchasing a steiff giftbox for their teddy bear and we always wrap the bears in quality tissue paper with the steiff logo embossed on it. We are also thinking of including a business sized card thanking the customer for their order and hope they are happy with the purchase etc and including a discount code for any future order(s). When we do fairs we have steiff carrier bags which we put the bears in at no extra charge. We purchase the gift boxes/carrier bags and tissue paper from steiff but it may be too expensive for you to get these made with the funky fairy on.

However, the above does look more special than just putting the bear in a brown box especially since most of the time they are presents for birthdays, christmas, christenings etc

On a side note have just looked at your website and there are a couple of links not working. If I click on the booties or toddler pictures it can not find the page. You might want to change this asap!

Hi Dave

Thanks for the heads up about the links will get onto that.

I think it is always worthwhile spending money on presentation even if it affects your profits after all if you are going to send someone something you are proud to sell it emphasises that fact when packaging.
