We all know our Mums deserve the best and what a great way to show that appreciation on Mother’s Day. Sure, your gift might be fabulous, but why stop there? Step up your game with gift packaging that’ll make her think you’re her favourite child (even if your siblings disagree). Keep reading to explore some fun, creative, and eco friendly wrapping ideas, from SmithPackaging.  

1.Keep it Classic with Kraft Paper  

If you are looking for the perfect balance between eco-friendly packaging and something effortlessly simple, kraft paper is the way to go. Grab some brown kraft paper rolls from SmithPackaging and add a bit of twine or some dried flowers to finish off the look. 

Extra points tip: Scribble a couple of sweet notes or funny quotes right on the paper for a personal touch! 

2. Add Ribbons or Strings to Your Gifts 

Skip the plastic bows and use ribbons or string to tie up gifts. Have a box full of old ribbons and decorative bits? Now’s the time to use them! If not, start collecting them from gift bags, clothing tags, and packaging throughout the year. 

3. Treat Your Mother to Flowers 

Try something new this year with adding fresh or dried flowers. Tuck in some sprigs of lavender, eucalyptus, or mini blooms under ribbons or twine for a fragrant, stylish touch. It’s quick, easy, and always a lovely touch that your Mum would appreciate.  

4. Use Tape for a Finished Look  

We’ve all been there, your wrapping is picture-perfect, but the last thing you want is cheap tape ruining the aesthetic (or worse, peeling off before Mum even gets to open the present). 

Solution? Eco-friendly paper tape. Not only is it fully recyclable, but it also blends easily with kraft wrapping for a high-end, minimalistic finish. Choose from a range of tapes from us.  

5. Send Gifts for Your Mother Abroad  

If your Mum lives aboard, it’s still nice to show that you are thinking of her with sending a special gift. You want to make sure that the packaging arrives in perfect condition. This is where protective packaging comes in handy.  

Using eco-friendly loose fill packing peanuts will cushion your delicate gifts and keep them in pristine condition. You can also opt for double walled cardboard box if you are shipping fragile items. This way, your Mum gets a wrapped surprise and a perfect intact gift.  

6. DIY Tags 

It is important to not forget the details! Creating personalised tags with handwritten messages or funny memories that your Mum would appreciate adds an individualised touch. Consider printing off a photograph of the two of you together and attaching it to the tag or the wrapping paper.  

7. Reuse Cardboard Tubes for DIY Gift Boxes  

Before you toss out those leftover cardboard tubes from wrapping paper rolls, why not repurpose them into unique gift boxes? Simply cut them to the desired length, pop the gift inside, and fold in the ends to create a natural, eco-friendly pillow box.
