Gift Wrap & Tissue

Wrapping paper and tissue in folded sheets and multi-sheet packs, from floral and retro prints to plain metallics, with water-resistant flower wrap alongside.

How much paper does one gift take?

Measure around the box and add about 2 in for the overlap, then add the box depth to each end. A 19.7 x 27.6 in sheet covers a shoebox-sized gift with little to spare, so buy a sheet more than you think you need.

What is tissue paper for if the gift is already wrapped?

Filling. Tissue takes up the empty space in a bag so the contents are not visible at the top, and it cushions anything breakable inside a box. A bag with tissue reads as finished; the same bag without it reads as a bag.

Paper or bag?

Wrap a flat, regular shape — it photographs better and costs less. Use a bag for anything awkward, soft or last-minute. For flowers, the water-resistant wrap is the one that will not go limp against damp stems.
