Two things are guaranteed at Christmas: Trading Places on the telly and a never-ending list of gifts to wrap

Ready, steady, wrap!

First thing's first, we need to get our hands on those gifts: the calendar for your grandparents, the mug with your photo for your coffee-addicted bff, the frame for mum who's always complaining about how she never sees you enough.

Step two: special packages for everyone. Are they more a natural or a colourful wrapping paper kind of person? String or red ribbon? Classic or origami wrapping?

Last step: create a package that is so gorgeous they won't want to unwrap it.

For wow-factor gift wrapping you'll need: lots of colourful ribbons, wrapping paper, all your love and a photo.
What for? Take a look here!

A snap-shot is a made to measure gift and if you add a small inscription it will become even more special!

Create a Vintage Print with the recipient's photo (the funnier the better), add a short text and voilà.

But there's more. Here are a few DIY wrapping ideas you just have to try.

Furoshiki wrapping

Not the easiest of names to get your tongue around, but making it is a piece of cake and your ecofriendly friend will adore it. If you have a little fleece cloth or linen and know how to tie a knot, you can't go wrong!

Package with natural paper

Win them over with simplicity. If the recipient is especially creative, bring out paints and pens: wrapping paper will be your canvas. After all, there's a little Van Gogh in all of us.

Soft Package

Basic but magic. Tissue paper, string and your photo: a guaranteed result.

Now you have all you need to create the perfect gift package, we want to see it! Take a photo of your wrapped gifts and publish it on Instagram, add the tag @photosi_ and use the hashtag #personalisedgifts.

PLEASE NOTE: make sure the recipient of your gift steers clear of it, you wouldn't want to spoil your surprise masterpiece now, would you?
