  • Put breakable items in a packaged box first before placing it inside a gift box, then place extra tissue papers inside the box. Add shredded tissue papers to add cushion to prevent breakage.
  • There are gift bags made just to wrap wine bottles. Make sure to wrap the wine bottle with two to three layers of tissue papers before inserting in a wine gift bag.
  • When giving jewelries as gifts, it is a good idea to place them in a jewelry box to avoid losing or damaging them.
