Presentation is important when giving a gift. Just as good presentation makes food more appetising, so great gift wrappings make receiving your gift more exciting. Ever been given a gift unwrapped? What a non-event!
Going the extra mile to wrap your gift well transforms the experience. The effort invested is evident. The recipient feels more special. There's some drama and anticipation. The gift seems more exciting - no matter what it is.
Bad gift wrap spoils a fantastic gift; great gift wrap makes a bad gift better.
