Exploring Your Spooky Gift Wrapping Side: How to Find the Right Halloween Wrapping Paper

Halloween isn’t a traditional gift-giving holiday, but the more festive of us will take just about any opportunity to turn a special occasion into a day complete with gifts. At the same time, many of us know someone whose birthday falls around Halloween, and simply want to give them a gift that reflects the theme of the holiday through its wrapping. So, how do you find the perfect spooky Halloween-oriented wrapping paper?  

Go All Out with the Theme  

There’s something about Halloween that turns us all into giddy little kids who maintain the motto, “the spookier, the better.” So, don’t be afraid to go for it in terms of opting for the spookiest, most elaborate and over-the-top Halloween-oriented visuals when choosing a wrapping paper design. Find a motif that speaks to you, like vampires, mummies or ghosts, and get into the spirit of the holiday unapologetically.

Match the Wrapping Paper to the Aesthetic of the Recipient 

It’s important to not only pick a wrapping paper that appeals to your eye, but one that matches the recipient’s style as well. For example, some Halloween enthusiasts gravitate toward gory, realistic imagery, and some of us love adorable little ghosts. Make sure that when choosing a wrapping paper, it has a personalized touch by having a design that matches the Halloween aesthetic that the recipient already loves. If you need help, just consider what kind of Halloween décor they use – do they like cute jack-o-lanterns, or do they go with something that’s as creepy and unsettling as possible?

Don’t Forget to Embellish 

Besides the wrapping paper itself, there are plenty of embellishments you can use to add to the visual impact of the gift, and they should match the wrapping paper itself in terms of theme and color palette. For example, you could find a bow that resembles a spider, which would look fantastic against spiderweb-themed wrapping paper. Get creative, because like we said, this is the time to go all out.

Choose An Eco-Friendly Wrapping Paper Product 

While it’s important to go for big visual impact when choosing how to wrap a Halloween-themed gift, you still want to make sure that you’re buying your wrapping paper responsibly. A lot of wrapping paper that’s sold commercially is nonrecyclable, and non-biodegradable. This is an issue because it contributes to the excess waste that’s clogging up our planet.  

At Waterleaf Paper, our wrapping paper is fully biodegradable, meaning that it leaves behind zero waste since it’s quickly and completely decomposed by microorganisms. That’s because we use natural materials that aren’t coated in plastics and other synthetics that you’d find in most wrapping papers that are sold. By choosing Waterleaf, you’ll know that your gift-giving occasion is as environmentally friendly as it is fun.
