Also, how to add a personal touch to your gift and the best ways to present your gifts.
Wrapping Paper Essentials
One of the most important steps in perfecting your Valentine's Day gift wrap is choosing the wrapping paper and ribbon.
Don't use just any old packaging. Use high-quality wrapping paper, like shiny foil or heavyweight paper.
Next, choose a theme for your Valentine's Day gift wrap!
Want to do a Valentine's Day theme? Choose colors and patterns that complement it. Look for print in different hues of red, pink, and white, and/or patterns with designs like hearts, polka dots, or flowers.
You could also base the theme on your loved one's interests. For example: Do they love dogs? Then use the most adorable puppy wrapping paper you can find! A fan of purple? Try wrapping their presents in various shades of purple topped with ribbons and bows.
Is your loved one eco-conscious? Make sure to use sustainable wrapping materials, like biodegradable and recyclable cardstock. You can get recycled brown wrapping paper and draw or paint on it for an extra personal touch! Plain brown paper also looks adorable if you tie it up with a lovely bow or twine. Try not to use any plastic.
If you have several small gifts, a cute packaging idea is to wrap them all individually, stack them, and then tie them up with one large bow. Putting a little extra effort into your DIY gift-wrapping ideas packs a punch, and is an easy way to show your Valentine you care.
Instead of using gift tags, you can attach a wooden letter or monogram, and decorate the whole gift box with plant and herb clippings from the garden. Write them a card on seed paper, which will sprout flowers, herbs, or veggies when planted!

- Tie the ribbon of your choice around the gift and use it to adorn the top with another small present! What's better than receiving two gifts in one?
- Order custom wrapping paper! You can do fun designs featuring you, your loved one(s), or their pet on them. Or, create your own pattern!

Adding a Special Touch to Your Gift Wrap
A personal touch will make your loved one feel extra special.
One way you can do this is by attaching a handwritten, heartfelt note or card. Make sure to write your note on either a fancy card (Etsy has tons of beautiful options) or paper that looks good and will last, like parchment or fabric paper.
You can also decorate your Valentine's Day gift with handmade accents. Attach some crocheted or paper-cut-out hearts and a cute photo of you and your partner. Or, of a favorite place you've traveled to together. (The photos can also double as gift tags!)
