Engraved pens come packaged in protective casing, making them easier to present as gifts than irregular-shaped objects. But how can you give these presents their own personalized touch?
Dependent upon the occasion, you may opt to write a thoughtful message with your gift; just be mindful to follow gift-giving etiquette. Some individuals do not like being recognized while opening their present.
Colors
Combining several colors of gift wrap can create an eye-catching display for your personalized pen. Choose an arrangement that complements their favorite hue or opt for vibrant, festive hues during holidays; add a matching tag and seal it with wax for an elegant finish; you could also fold over and tuck it inside for added personalization!
As with any gift, it’s essential to take into account both the recipient’s personality and gift-giving etiquette when selecting colors, papers, and ribbons for their present. Some individuals prefer receiving their presents privately while others thrive when receiving public accolades – depending on the person and occasion it could be worthwhile congratulating or at least saying you hope they like the present on its arrival – or writing a handwritten message instead of using printed cards to add a more intimate touch.
Paper
When giving someone special a pen as a present and want to add extra thoughtful touches, choose a piece of paper in colors matching its hue or create an exclusive look by wrapping it in a gift bag – this presentation style also works well if giving multiple items at the same time.
Begin with a piece of thicker paper such as cardstock or craft paper with a smooth surface and some thickness, like cardstock. Carefully position your gift into the center and fold both sides towards each other until its ends are covered by folding over. Next, run your fingers along both edges until squared off; finally tape around all corners.
Add some ribbon to your gift wrap for an additional decorative element and to complete the overall package. Ribbon comes in all kinds of colors to match the theme and color scheme of your present. Ribbon can be found at many craft stores and is easily cut to size with scissors or craft knives.
Once you have your paper, the next step should be drawing your design on it. Draw out a quick sketch to determine where your squiggles and lettering should go before using a pencil for drawing them out. To add more visibility to the writing, highlighter or fine point pens may help.
Care should be taken when using red. Tombstones often feature tombstones adorned with the color red, which may represent death or bad luck in certain cultures; therefore, when choosing another hue it might be wiser. Black on the other hand is commonly used when signing contracts and can symbolize sexuality so avoiding both may also be best.
An added personal message or quote adds the perfect personal touch to any gift. Whatever the occasion may be, write something humorous or heartwarming to show how much thought went into selecting their present – it might even include something such as a quote or poem that speaks directly to their personality!
Ribbon
Your choice of ribbon can add the perfect finishing touch to your pen gift wrap. Choose between traditional or more unique options – satin and grosgrain ribbons are great choices, although don’t go overboard on width – and wired ribbon; ensure tails are cut off so it won’t unravel; for an eye-catching effect, alternate color and width for two different ribbons you use together.
Consider adding a bow as an extra decorative touch. You can either create it yourself or purchase pre-made from a craft store. For an elegant touch, look for ribbon with either gold or silver finishes; alternatively you could go rustic by selecting natural colored ribbon.
Add an extra special touch to any pen gift by including a note with it. Depending on the occasion, consider including a quote, poem, anecdote, or short message that expresses your well wishes for its recipient. No matter if giving in person or sending long distance, such messages always add that special personal touch!
If you are giving the present to a co-worker or client, adding their business card will give it an air of professionalism and ensure it arrives undamaged.
Gift bags offer a convenient and speedy solution for gift wrapping pens. This method is particularly helpful if you have multiple engraved pens to give out and don’t want to spend too much time wrapping each individually. Furthermore, gift bags that match a company’s colors or logo may create an exclusive look for your presents.
Make a beautiful and special present from your engraved pens by using fabric with designs that match their theme, then attaching the pens with glue or rubber cement before leaving it to dry before using it.
Stickers
An enjoyable and straightforward way to present a pen is with stickers! Not only are they suitable for holidays or birthday presents, but you can use them to label the box and add your personal message – choose from foam or dimensional stickers; self-adhesive paper labels can even give the gift an upscale finish!
If you have extra fabric strips and paper scraps from other projects, such as fabric strips and paper, then they can make unique embellishments for pen boxes. Use tape or tassels to add decorative flair, while recycling the materials while saving some money! It is a great way to recycle scraps while saving some cash!
Personalized pens make an easy gift that requires minimal wrapping effort, since most come in their own casing. But for an added touch, consider giving the present in an eye-catching gift bag to match its color scheme and logo as well as providing extra storage space for future uses.
Making your gift truly stand out is easy when using a patterned stamp on its wrapping paper. Not only can this add an original and adorable touch, but your recipient can keep their pen in their desk or office as an ornament!
Adding a small tag with handwritten text or just the date will demonstrate to the recipient that you put thought and care into their gift. While some individuals enjoy being the center of attention when giving presents, others are more introverted and prefer giving gifts privately.
As a more creative present, consider wrapping a box with colorful tissue papers and then including some attractive pens to really impress both friends and co-workers! You are sure to make an impressionful statement this way!
