Wrap Gifts Like a Pro with Alessi Paper

Quick answer

To wrap a gift like a pro with Alessi paper, start by selecting the free gift wrap option at checkout, then follow a few simple steps for cutting, folding, and finishing to achieve a clean, luxurious presentation.

Step-by-step wrapping guide

1. Prepare your workspace and measure the paper: Lay the gift box on the Alessi wrapping paper. Unroll enough paper so that the long sides overlap by about 2-3 cm, and the short sides leave enough to cover the ends completely. Cut the paper cleanly with sharp scissors. Common mistake: cutting too little paper, which leaves gaps. Always give a little extra for neat folds.
2. Fold and tape the long edges first: Place the gift box face down on the paper. Bring one long edge over the box and tape it down. Then bring the opposite edge over, ensuring it overlaps the first edge evenly, and tape securely. Checkpoint: make sure the overlap is straight and centered to avoid a crooked wrap.
3. Create neat ends with the envelope fold: At one open end, press the paper flat against the box sides, then fold the top flap down. Next, fold the side flaps inward, and finally bring the bottom flap up. Tape or use a small piece of double-sided tape to secure. Repeat on the other end. Common mistake: pulling the flaps too tight, which can tear the paper. Fold gently for a crisp finish.
4. Add the greetings card and ribbon: Write your message on the Alessi greetings card and place it on top of the wrapped gift. If you have a ribbon or twine, tie it around the box in a simple bow to elevate the presentation without hiding the design. Checkpoint: avoid over-decorating. The Alessi paper and card are already elegant; a minimal ribbon keeps the focus on the gift.
