It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Oh we just love the festive season and we know your customers do too. As a retailer, you want to provide as much of a festive experience as possible for your customers during the holidays. People are browsing for gifts as well as ideas to help them create a wonderful atmosphere in their own homes and offices. Some of the predicted trends for this years gifting and packaging ideas include natural textures, the colour blue, patterns, lights and nice-to-touch packaging. Each year, customers expect something different and want to gift something unique too. Whilst you are limited in what you sell, product wise, you certainly don’t have to be limited with the presentation. Personalisation is a huge deal at this time of year, not only are people giving out client gifts but they’re also making headway on their Christmas shopping. 

We’ve always offered numerous customisation options including the various types of printing and ribbons. But with customers expecting more from you, we knew it was our duty to launch something fun too. So, it felt like the absolute perfect time for us to launch the new gem birthstone and dome closures. Remember, the new gemstones are packed in 6’s, so it’s easy for our customers to mix and match gemstones with box colours (boxes are sold 12 per colour). These are absolutely perfect for customising your boxes.

In spirit of the holiday season, we’ve put together a few Foldabox customers that have the most gorgeous hamper gift ideas for Christmas:
