It just isn’t as exciting to open a gift that comes thrown into a bag or crudely taped up with wrapping paper. Adding a gift box before wrapping or choosing one that doesn’t need to be wrapped at all can make any present look a lot more enticing.

If you choose the right gift box, it’ll be able to be used time and time again, saving the recipient from buying paper then next time they give a gift. Some boxes can also work well for storing items around the house.

Gift box types

Regular gift - In one or two pieces, these boxes can be purchased flat or ready-to-use. They are likely the best gift boxes for larger items, but can come in all shapes and sizes. If you purchase a decorative gift box, wrapping won’t be necessary, which can save a lot of time and a bit of money.

Clear and frosty vinyl - These boxes take the traditional gift box and add a little something extra. Clear boxes can be filled with colorful tissue paper for a decorative touch, while frosty gift boxes come in a range of colors and are usually opaque.

Display boxes - These gift boxes are meant for holding fancy stationary and books, or for displaying special items. Cotton pads line the bottom of many display boxes, for placing valuables like jewelry.

Apparel boxes - Different pieces of apparel go well with different boxes. Hats, shoes, watches, earrings, sweaters and everything else imaginable can have a box that is the perfect fit. Many have different features - for instance a shoe box has a large rectangular bottom and a lid; while clothing can come in a one piece foldable box with a closing flap, but is also well-suited to pillow boxes, which are long and partially rounded with closures on each end.

Cake boxes - Cake boxes come in many sizes and need an added pad to hold the baked goods in place and allow for easy removal.

Chinese takeout boxes - Aside from the obvious use, takeout containers are becoming increasingly popular for gift boxes. Plain, colored or frosted, Chinese takeout boxes are a unique and stylish way to go.
