Confetti cake gift card surprise
There is nothing—we repeat, nothing—wrong with giving a gift card. They can be some of the most thoughtful and useful gifts! Honestly, if you ask us, the only thing wrong with giving gift cards is that finding a unique or creative way to present them can be hard.
Enter: This adorable birthday gift wrapping idea.
It takes everything fun about a birthday—cake, confetti and gifts—and wraps it up in a neat little package. And do not skimp on the confetti; it’s the proverbial icing on the cake here. In fact, do what you can to find some confetti that’s extra festive!
Mini balloon bouquet bag
The best thing about gift bags is that they’re so easy. You find one big enough for your gift, fluff up some tissue paper, and you’re done. But you know what the second-best thing about gift bags is? The fact that you can easily add a few little embellishments to create the most ingenious birthday gift wrapping idea ever.
Like this one. Come on, can you think of anything cuter to put on the side of a gift bag than a bouquet of mini balloons??
Customized photo card topper
There’s wrapping a present. And then there is wrapping with presence.
This birthday gift wrapping idea takes the gifting experience and makes it truly personal with the addition of a customized photo card. Which, if we’re honest, we’re loving the opportunity here to shop wrapping paper and photo cards side-by-side on Hallmark.com and find designs that fit perfectly together. (Psst…you can even find ribbon!)
Also, you could tweak this idea for so many other occasions—weddings, holidays, anniversaries, etc. You gotta love a gift wrapping idea with multiple uses!
We hope these unique birthday gift wrapping ideas help you show up to the party with a present you’re proud of and can’t wait to share. 🥳
