Choose perfect gift wrapping paper to suit the age, gender, choices of the recipient. Also, it should match up with the gift that it is going to hold within.
Consider the weight of the gift. How heavy the present is, determines the type of paper you would use and the design of the box you would want to create. For instance, while planning for a box for a heavy gift item, the paper used should be sufficiently heavy stock.
We mostly use heavy stock paper for making gift boxes. You can use a light-weight delicate rice paper for holding a small gift.
There are a vast plethora of various papers available today. The textures, weights and colours will make it easy and fun for you.
