Baby Wrapping Paper: Cute Designs and Colors

Wrapping Paper for Babies

When you go to a baby shower, you want to bring the gift that everyone envies. Baby wrapping paper is the perfect way to present what is sure to be a cherished gift. However, coming up with creative ideas on how to wrap a present that everyone admires is the challenge. Below are some suggested ideas that are sure to have your present standing out from the rest.

Blankets as Wrapping Paper

Newborn blankets are a necessity for any infant. Using the blanket as gift wrap is creative, fun and utilitarian. Simply wrap the gift like you would when using standard wrapping paper and hold the blanket on with ribbon. Alternatively you could place the gift in the center and tie the blanket at the top with a rubber band, then spread out the blanket folds until it resembles a flower.  You can dress up the wrapping by using diaper pins to hang pacifiers and small stuffed animals from the blanket. You could also add a congratulation message or the child’s name if known.

Themed Wrapping Paper

Quite often a baby shower will have a particular theme. Call the hostess giving the shower and find out the theme of the party. Once you know this it is easy to choose just the right baby wrapping paper for your gift. You may even like to make your present resemble the theme.  There are thousands of themes and colors to choose from when it comes to wrapping paper for babies. Make sure that you include a cute card or memento to match with your paper and give your gift that something special.

Personalized Wrapping Paper

Personalized gift wrap is another idea that will make your gift stand out. You have a number of options here. You could stamp your own paper with the animals, colors etc that you know the guest of honor will appreciate. You could create recycled paper with natural materials if your friend is a nature lover or you could wait until the birth of the child and include the name, birth date, weight and length.  This can also be a keepsake item.

Inexpensive Wrapping Paper

For anyone who does not have a lot of money to spend on gift wrap, there is a neat way to present a gift without putting a strain on the wallet. Use gift bags that have been given to you or recycled old wrapping paper by cutting out the shapes and patterns and pasting these onto Paper grocery bags. If you have children of your own allow them to create baby wrapping paper by finger painting, coloring shapes, printing with foods and kitchen utensils or just handing them some art materials and letting them explore for themselves.   These types of wrapping paper make a statement and cost nothing. It is original and thoughtful and will be remembered by the mum to be.

Baby rattles, small stuffed toys, pacifiers, tiny shoes, a small pack of baby wipes, and diapers are creative toppers for your present; they put the “icing on the cake” and make your gift stand out from all the rest.
