Gift wrapping with Notino

At this time of year when you have a lot of presents to wrap, it can get pretty tiring. If you have a lot of people to buy for, then you really don’t want to be spending ages wrapping. If you haven’t lost the end of the sellotape, you’ve lost the scissors or the cat has ran off with the ribbon. It can take hours to get everything done and if you’re anything like me, it will also take you hours to get your presents looking well, presentable. Luckily, a lot of websites now offer gift wrapping which is so handy when you are buying online. Imagine being able to order gifts and have them arrive in pretty boxes, ready to be given to the lucky recipient? Well that’s what you can get when you shop at Notino.

For just an extra £3.99 per box, you can have your items placed inside a fancy looking box. They’ll be full of black paper to keep everything from rolling around. You can choose from an array of colours and at Christmas time, they even have some Christmas designs! When I placed my Notino order this month, I decided to get mine gift wrapped just to see what they look like. A few of the items that I got were presents, so I am going to use the boxes to add the rest of their gifts inside and it saves me a couple of hours of wrapping and pulling ribbon from down the cat’s throat!

As you can see, I decided to go for the red boxes. I thought that these were a great colour for Christmas, however I could also reuse them at other times of the year. When you are selecting your boxes, you can also choose which items you want to go in each one. Here, you can see that I got one box full of face masks. I absolutely love these sheet masks, especially the Missha ones and have talked about them before. I have got a whole selection of them to give to my friends with their other Christmas presents. 

In my second box I have two different candles. One is the Apple Cider Donut candle from Kringle which is perfect for this time of year. The other one is Bourbon Pumpkin from Bath and Body Works which smells delicious. I love anything pumpkin scented and also anything bourbon scented. So this candle is absolutely perfect for me. The packaging in the box ensures that these two were really protected and arrived in one piece. I also have a MAC liquid lipstick in here in the shade Back In Vogue. This is the perfect orangey nude and would make a great gift.

Have you got all of your Christmas shopping sorted? You’ve not got long if you want to order from Notino now.
