The Ultimate Guide to Wrapping a Personalised Bottle Like a Pro

Because your gift deserves better than a brown paper bag

Why Bottle Wrapping Matters (More Than You Think)

Let’s be honest, handing someone a beautiful, personalised engagement gift with no wrapping is like showing up to a wedding in your pyjamas. Technically fine… but not ideal.

Whether it’s got their name, their engagement date, or an inside joke splashed across the label, your bottle is already thoughtful. Wrapping it right? That’s what turns it from “aww thanks” to “holy heck, this is everything.”

It’s the first impression, the teaser trailer, the red carpet moment before the main event. And with just a few tricks, you can give your gift a glow-up worthy of the ‘Gram.

🎁 Basic Bottle Wrap – The Quick & Classy Option

If you’re short on time (or just not the crafty type), a simple but elegant wrap goes a long way.

What you’ll need:
Luxe tissue paper (skip the dollar store stuff)
Twine or ribbon
Gift tag or small card

How to do it:

• Stand the bottle upright on the centre of your tissue paper.
• Pull the paper up and twist it at the neck like a lolly wrapper.
• Secure with ribbon or twine and tie in a bow.
• Add a handwritten tag for that final flourish.
