Everyone loves receiving gifts, whether it's a star present on the big day or Christmas Eve box ideas, but what makes them even more thoughtful is when someone has taken real care to wrap them. Professional-looking wrapping can make even the smallest of gifts look special, from the meticulous wrap, the choice of paper, the embellishments and, of course, the ribbon.
Not everyone is good at gift wrapping, however, and it was certainly a case of practice makes perfect for me. I shoot Christmas imagery for all different brands and magazines every year, starting as early as June, I have to wrap a lot of (often faux!) presents, which meant that I learnt pretty quickly how to get them looking picture-perfect.
