How to Surprise and Inspire With a Gift?

Anna, a cus­tomer of Paper for Hap­py, talks about the mag­ic and func­tion­al­i­ty of paper filler.

Hol­i­days are won­der­ful! But some­times prepa­ra­tion becomes a headache. What to give, how to give, how much mon­ey do you need? Try to sur­prise and please the per­son who has every­thing! And when is the bud­get for a gift — 20$? Is it banal to put mon­ey in an enve­lope bought in a super­mar­ket? No, will go the oth­er way.

We will col­lect a beau­ti­ful box with cute giz­mos. You can put fruits in it: juicy apples or bright bananas; sets, cakes, and even sausage, the smell of which sali­vates! We put a note or a post­card signed by hand there. We dilute it with a sou­venir, a book, a joint pho­to­graph on card­board, a drink — that this per­son will be pleased.

You need to fill the void in the box. This is the key point! Choose paper filler to match the col­or of the mes­sage. What is it? If roman­tic, pink del­i­cate col­ors are need­ed, pas­sion­ate — you can’t do with­out red, and cream and pas­tel shades will help express affec­tion and care.

I will tell you about my expe­ri­ence in select­ing filler, as it turned out to be a sur­pris­ing­ly dif­fi­cult task. If you can eas­i­ly find the con­tents of a gift box online or offline, then buy­ing paper tin­sel is a task with an aster­isk. For some rea­son it’s often out of stock.

I found a great option at Paper for Hap­py. This is a ll-known and ll-estab­lished man­u­fac­tur­er. I will give an approx­i­mate align­ment of how I picked up tin­sel.

- I googled the slic­ing width and den­si­ty. I did­n’t want ugly rough noo­dles. After look­ing at var­i­ous sources, I came to the con­clu­sion that 2 mm paper filler is the top. Wider stripes look less impres­sive and make the over­all look cheap­er.

- With the den­si­ty, the sit­u­a­tion is like this: the high­er it is, the less vol­ume the paper will take. If the usu­al type is 80 g / m2, then craft paper and parch­ments are com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent to the touch. The rule is sim­ple: if you need the con­tents in the box to be packed more secure­ly, choose paper — kraft or parch­ment.

At Paper­forHap­py, I found what I need­ed — the per­fect 2mm filler of any den­si­ty.

— I thought about the type of paper. I need­ed a cor­ru­gat­ed filler that goes ll with card­board, wood and plas­tic. An inter­est­ing option is obtained with craft filler. In addi­tion, such shav­ings are breath­able, which is a big plus, and it does not cause aller­gies. Paper­forHap­py has both.

- Chose a col­or. The design rules can be found on the Inter­net, I already wrote above that I con­sid­er the mood and mes­sage that you want to con­vey to be deci­sive.

— Price! Com­pared to anoth­er man­u­fac­tur­er, Paper­forHap­py also turned out to have a bet­ter price.
