Wrapping That Becomes Part of the Fun

Characterful wrapping paper for Birthdays, Christmas & gifts worth getting excited about.

For children, recognising their name or face on the paper can be almost as exciting as discovering what is inside. Our illustrated designs turn the wrapping into part of the birthday or Christmas experience rather than something chosen at the last minute.

The collection includes colourful papers for younger children alongside pencil-drawn and storybook-style designs suitable for older children. Choose a familiar interest, favourite animal or personalised design to make the parcel unmistakably theirs.

Look out for giraffes alongside the bears, astronauts, pirates and frogs, with choices that do not feel overly babyish.

Selected papers can be personalised with names, messages or familiar faces.

Wrapping Paper for Big Imaginations

For a child, the wrapping is often the first clue that something exciting is about to happen. Our children’s wrapping papers turn the parcel into part of the story, with original illustrations full of animals, adventures, favourite pastimes and imaginative details to discover. Pick a design that reflects what they love now, whether that is space, pirates, wildlife or a world of make-believe. Designed and printed in our Derbyshire studio, each sheet and roll is supplied rolled rather than folded, arriving smooth and ready for crisp corners, colourful parcels and that unmistakable rush towards the present pile.

Make the Parcel Part of the Adventure

Children’s wrapping paper should do more than hide what is inside. The right design builds excitement, gives young recipients something to point out and makes their present instantly recognisable. This collection brings together original illustrated gift wrap for birthdays, Christmas surprises, new arrivals, christenings and everyday treats, with designs chosen for curious minds rather than short-lived trends.

Look for a pattern linked to the child’s current fascination, or choose an imaginative scene that can inspire stories while the parcel waits to be opened. Clear colours and detailed artwork work beautifully on both small gifts and larger toy boxes, while a matt finish keeps the result smart without feeling glossy or mass-produced. Several presents can be wrapped in one design for a strong themed display, or mixed across related colours when siblings are celebrating together. Add a name label, contrasting ribbon or simple twine so every parcel is easy to spot and ready for its starring moment.

Made for the Present Pile

  • Choose Their Story

    Dinosaurs, rockets, woodland animals, pirates or favourite activities can make choosing the paper almost as enjoyable as choosing the present. Start with what the child talks about, draws or pretends to be, rather than relying only on their age. An absorbing illustrated repeat gives them details to find before opening and can spark a story afterwards. If the gift is a surprise for a child you know less well, animals, nature and adventure themes offer plenty of character without feeling too specific.

  • Make Every Parcel Easy to Spot

    Names make a busy present pile much easier to manage, especially at shared parties or family Christmas gatherings. Where a design offers personalisation, check every spelling carefully and use the preview to confirm the wording before ordering. If you choose a non-personalised paper, repeat the same clear name label on the top and one end of larger parcels. For siblings, use a different ribbon colour for each child while keeping the paper consistent, creating a joined display without mix-ups.

  • Wrapping Toys and Larger Boxes

    Large toys often look difficult to wrap, but a little planning produces a neater result. Measure around the widest part of the box, allow extra paper for the end folds and place joins on the underside wherever possible. Two matching lengths can cover an oversized carton more cleanly than stretching one piece too far. For awkward shapes, place the item in a reusable box first or create a generous cracker-style parcel, securing the ends with ribbon so the illustrated pattern remains visible.

Children’s Wrapping Paper FAQs

Choosing Children’s Wrapping Paper

How do I choose a wrapping-paper design for a child?

Choose according to what currently captures their imagination rather than relying only on age or gender. Animals, space, gardens, vehicles and storybook scenes can all make the parcel feel closely connected to the child receiving it.

Can I order children’s wrapping paper with a name or photograph?

Selected designs include personalisation options. The individual product page will show whether names, messages or photographs can be added. Use a clear, front-facing photograph and check every submitted name before ordering.

What is the easiest way to wrap a large toy box?

Measure the full width, depth and height before choosing your paper quantity. Position joins underneath the box and use two neatly aligned lengths when one piece cannot cover it comfortably. Avoid pulling the paper tightly across sharp corners, as a small allowance produces cleaner folds.

How can I stop presents for siblings becoming mixed up?

Give each child a ribbon colour, tag shape or different wrapping-paper design and repeat it across all their presents. Add labels to both the top and side of larger boxes so names remain visible when parcels are stacked.

Does children’s wrapping paper work for new-baby and christening gifts?

Yes. Softer animal, botanical and storybook patterns can provide a gentle alternative to conventional baby gift wrap. Choose colours that suit the family’s style and add a simple linen ribbon or name tag for a neat finish.
