Why Choose Gift Boxes
Saves Time
Gift wrapping is no less important than picking out the gift itself. But it sure is a time-consuming process and perfecting the art of gift wrapping takes a lot of practice. Our busy lives hardly allow us any free time, and to spend it on learning to wrap gifts seems like a waste. Luckily we now have an easier option for you, which require no skills and almost no time. Gift boxes are the modern alternative to wrapping up gifts. All you have to do is purchase the gift box and put your gift inside it! It’s so simple that even a child can do it. Any ribbon or fastening that is required usually comes with the box. So you will not need to worry about that. A gift box is the perfect option for people who value their time.
Not Very Expensive
Gift boxes are usually made from paper and recycled materials. Therefore they are very reasonably priced. Gift boxes vary in material, shape and size. The price depends on these factors. The price may also vary according to the design or artistry on the boxes. But usually the price of a gift box doesn’t exceed ₹50. They are usually sold in packs though. The minimum amount of boxes is around 12 per pack. Chocolate or cake boxes come for around ₹20-₹25 per piece. Hard card board boxes for gifting clothes, hats or shoes may be a bit pricier. Each one is priced at around ₹200-₹300. It’s always wise to buy gift boxes in bulk though. That way you always get a discount and can save a lot of money. Store them away and use them when a gifting emergency arises.
Can Be Reused or Recycled
Gift boxes have several advantages over wrapping paper and a major one is that they can be recycled or reused. When you get a gift which comes in a pretty box, don’t throw away the box. It can be used later for gifting someone else. Gift boxes made of cardboard or paper mache are best for being reused. Gift boxes used for wrapping cakes, cookies etc. are not as strong, so we would suggest that you recycle them. Old gift boxes can also be used for crafting, especially if you have children.
Large gift boxes can be used for storage as well. You can use them to store office supplies, old clothes, children’s toys. Turn the small ones into sewing kits or jewellery boxes. Cardboard boxes which do not contain plastic are compostable, which makes them a natural solution for a weed problem. Just lay pieces of cardboard on your weed-prone area, moisten them by spraying with water to help them stay in place. Add soil or mulch on top to conceal the cardboard.
