Perfect for gifts from your last holiday, or for a friend who’s about to take off on a big trip. Dig out your old maps and wrap up your parcels in them! Finish with a touch of ribbon, or a name card that looks like a luggage tag.

Handwritten

Create a chic parcel with crisp white wrapping topped with a calligraphy gift tag. There are a multitude of calligraphy tutorials available on YouTube for you to try, but if you’re not quite confident you can cheat by printing names in a calligraphy-style font.
