Reimagine Wrapping

The crisply folded edges of a wrapped packaged and a beautifully formed bow are always eye-catching. Sometimes, though, it’s fun to think beyond traditional gift wrapping and display a present in a vessel that adds another element to the gift. Get inspired to think outside the wrapping paper with these ideas from the Blackberry Farm team.

Fresh Flowers
Whether it’s with well-wishes to feel better or to set out as a centerpiece, you can’t go wrong with gifting a beautiful bouquet of seasonal flowers.

When you’ve chosen your blooms, take a few minutes to finish forming a full arrangement and place the flowers in a vase. A beautiful vase can be enjoyed again and again, long after the flowers have wilted.

Blackberry Farm favorite: We love the Trio of Hand-Thrown Vases from Leanne McQueen for smaller blooms. The beautiful and classic look is perfect for everyday use, and we can’t get enough of that gray finish!

The Right Recipe
Recipes come with great memories baked in. If you have a friend who loves enjoying your kitchen creations, reimagine their next gift with a recipe box.

Roll up a pot holder, kitchen towel or set of cloth napkins, add a collection of your most-used spices, stick in a useful kitchen tool, and include a favorite recipe to get their collection started. A recipe box that matches their style will not only look great on display in their kitchen, but it adds such a special, personal touch.

Blackberry Farm favorite: You can’t mix up a recipe without a good spoon. Our Wooden Spoon is the classic choice and perfect for stirring up Teensy's Chocolate Nut Chunk Cookie Mix.

Room to Grow
Pick a planter and arrange a garden-inspired gift. Whether you opt for a traditional clay pot or a textured wood container, the planter can transport your gift for a perfect themed presentation. Include an herb growing kit, share some of your favorite seeds, prop a garden spade against the side and finish with a pair of gardening gloves.

Blackberry Farm favorite: The Blackberry Farm Heirloom Seed Collection is perfect for fitting into a planter and provides plenty of seeds to nurture the delicious flavors of heirloom product.

Calm and Clean
A warm bath at the end of the day is a great way to wash away stress. Find a fun shower or bath caddy to fill with all the essentials. Pack a washcloth or loofa, add your favorite bath salts and finish with a soothing body oil or a nice candle and you’ve got the gift of relaxation. For extra destressing, find scents that include lavender.

Blackberry Farm favorite: The Wellhouse Bath Collection has it all! With a salt soak, body scrub and body butter included, all you need is the caddy and a bow.

Wrap it Up
Sometimes it’s fun to bring out the tissue paper and ribbon and take the traditional wrapping route. For added texture and appeal, our team enjoys incorporating natural elements into the bow. Finish a Christmas gift with a pine cone or sprig of evergreen, or top a baby shower box with clipped baby’s breath. Let yourself be creative and show some personality in the presentation.
