Hawaiian Gift Wrapping Ideas

Wrapping a Hawaiian gift with highlighted Hawaiian flowers adds a nice touch.


Special occasions like birthdays, holidays and anniversaries are times when gifts are given. When giving a gift from Hawaii, such as a Hawaiian music CD or a picture book of famous Hawaiian locations, wrapping the gift requires a different touch. Rather than wrapping the tropical gift in holiday wrapping paper or similar themed paper, continuing the Hawaiian theme to the wrapping paper marks the gift as something special.


Hawaiian Print Wrapping Paper


Wrap the gift in a Hawaiian wrapping paper. Prints like Hawaiian flowers or tropical sunsets will mark the gift as something different. Wrapping in a Hawaiian print wrapping paper is best for small gifts, like CDs or books.


Making Wrapping Paper


Making a Hawaiian-themed wrapping paper adds a personal touch to the paper. Use normal paper or a plain wrapping paper. Obtain Hawaiian stamps and stamp the paper. Otherwise, draw in Hawaiian flowers or tropical plants and color or paint the drawings. It's possible to get sponges in the shape of Hawaiian flowers and dip them into an appropriate paint and press into the paper as well. Another option is Hawaiian stencils and painting or coloring from the stencils. Making wrapping paper in a Hawaiian theme makes the wrapping fun and different.


Plain Paper and Hawaiian Trimming


Wrap the gift in a plain paper. Any color is fine depending on personal preferences. Work on adding Hawaiian trimming to the gift. Instead of gift bows, add a silk Hawaiian flower threaded through an appropriate ribbon. Trim the paper with tropical leaves rather than flowers for a Hawaiian touch.


Make a Gift Basket


Gift baskets use a clear wrap that shows the gift through the wrapping rather than hiding behind the wrapping paper. A gift basket can be filled with goodies such as a Hawaiian CD, Hawaiian leis, edible snacks such as tropical fruits or nuts and Hawaiian scents for body washes, soaps and lotions. The basket includes a clear wrap and is tied off with a bow. It is possible to tie it off with the Hawaiian-themed trim like Hawaiian silk flowers or a lei.
