DIAGONAL TECHNIQUE
See that moment when you're feeling pretty confident about your wrapping? Well, think of the next moment (and total deception) when you realise that you're missing that famous 2 cm to tape your gift...
For anyone who's ever been in that situation, here's the ultimate technique! Place your gift on the paper diagonally so that the two ends of the gift touch the two edges of the wrapping paper.
It gives you enough space to carefully fold each edge of the paper and wrap your gift.
You'll never run out of paper again!

If some of your gifts come with a nice box (like ours), don't hesitate to give it to your loved ones as it stands! A gift box can also be recycled as a storage box, jewellery box, pencil box, etc.
And last but not least, for those who want to wrap their gifts while reducing their waste production, there are many (and beautiful) recyclable gift papers.
A way to move away from traditional metallic paper!
