Valentine Gift Wrapping

Jan 28

Posted by admin in Gift for Your Dates | No Comments

Shopping for the perfect gift for someone might be easy, but what happens when wrapping the gift turns out to be impossible? Well, this may be the reason that wrapping paper is a thing of the past. Most shoppers opt for a gift box instead. There's no wrapping paper involved, which saves you a lot of time while still finding a neat, elegant way to present your gift. DIY gift boxes are easy and simple to make and may even be better than buying a gift box.

Personal

The greatest appeal in making these boxes yourself is that you get to make it personal. It won't just be a box, like all the others that are discarded once the gift is taken out. The way you choose to decorate your gift box can convey a lot to the receiver. You can write on it, add pictures to it, share an inside joke or two, and make the gift giving experience personal and special. While all the other gifts came in generic boxes, yours alone will be unique.

Options

Making your own gift box gives you a lot of freedom. You can decorate it however you wish and you can customize it according to the taste and likes of the person receiving your gift. This will make the box almost as special as the gift it contains, while at the same time adding a lot of sentiment to it to make sure that the receiver knows that you put a lot of time and thought into it because you care so much about them.

Cost

You can create these boxes out of almost anything you find around your house. Most tutorials on the internet will teach you how to use a cereal box to make a gift box. But depending on the size and shape of your gift, you might need to get hold of other cardboard boxes.

This is much cheaper than buying gift boxes from stores as you are using boxes that you already own to make them, and you can decorate them without spending lots of money as well.

Environmentally Friendly

An added advantage is that you are doing your bit to keep the Earth green by recycling paper. If the receiver of the gift is a nature lover, then your best way to show that you know and care about their passions is to make your own gift box.

Valentine Gift Men

While it is a very much celebrated tradition here in the Philippines, not everyone is aware how exactly Valentine's Day came about. We of course associate it with St. Valentine but do not know how he was actually recognized as the saint of lovers. Before you send that red, heart-glazed greeting card, read on and be initiated.

Prior to the third century of Rome, the 14th of February is nothing but an ordinary day. During his reign, Emperor Claudius II banned marriage for young men as they seemed to be better soldiers than husbands and fathers. This discrimination made a young priest named Valentine furious. Such injustice caused Valentine to rebel against the emperor by continuing to perform marriages among young lovers in secret. The emperor naturally discovered Valentine's secret. The priest was arrested, jailed, and sentenced to death. As the emperor's luck would have it, Valentine fell in love with his daughter who frequently paid the prisoner a visit. Before he caught his last breath, Valentine sent his beloved a letter and signed it: "from your Valentine." The priest was executed on February 14, 270 AD. Almost 300 years after, Pope Gelasius imposed that February 14 be a day to honor Valentine, who by that time was declared as a saint.

For thousands of years, the feast of St. Valentine has been one of the most popular customs that is much to the delight of flower shop owners and the dread of most men. Here in the Philippines, it definitely is the second most popular feast next to the tie breakers Christmas and New Year. Hands down: flowers take the cake this time of the year being the most popular gift of choice. Why wouldn't it be when these cut blossoms are readily available and have long symbolized fertility, love, marriage, and romance?

Floriography or speaking in the language of flowers flourished in the Middle Ages when courtship is severely prohibited. How lovers communicate for weeks or even months through flowers alone is just unbelievable! While we are one SMS or e-mail away today, you've got to admit that we still speak the language of flowers. It is very evident here in the Philippines how this dialect never seems to wilt away. While flowers can be given year round, sending a dozen or two during the 14th of February is extra special as it is paired with the thought of eternal love, similar to the life Valentine has lived.
