This sweet package gives us the suggestion of using aromatic herbs to decorate our gifts, you'll not only delight the eye, but also give a natural scent to the package, a detail that creates an even deeper memory of the moment. The rosemary has a really pleasant scent and its shape is similar to the Christmas tree. Lavender or laurel are also a great choice.

Another natural element used as ornament, a tiny tree branch decorated with two fabric pom poms that look like dandelions, a really delicate choice. As you can see in the packages above, simple kraft paper and cord are enough to make a great elegant and minimal package.

Wrap it in tartan. Stylish, British and really appropriate for a man's gift. A real bow-tie instead of a gift bow is the final, elegant touch.

Look at the pink honeycomb paper balls in this pic. They may look complicated to do, but they're not. I've always made them like this: cut circles from tissue paper, fold them in half and put them next to each other like pages of a book, then glue two of them together in two or three spot and continue with every circles to obtain the tridimensional sphere. I didn't know that some shops sell honeycomb paper sheets that make everything even quicker! These paper balls could be added to the gift bow.
