It could be notes with clues or messages, several little gifts, objects with different textures, etc. So many possibilities!<\/p>\n<p>We have chosen to include different sized presents, each with different wrapping paper for an original touch and especially, for a great combination of colours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1642 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"surprise box 3\" width=\"753\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-3-1.jpg 753w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-3-1-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look at how cool it looks brimming with presents!

This is the hole through which the person you want to surprise will put their hand in to find out what the box is hiding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; margin: 30px 0px 10px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5\"><\/span>Step 5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1635 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-6.jpg\" alt=\"surprise box 6\" width=\"753\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-6.jpg 753w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-6-300x132.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The next step is to wrap the box. You can wrap is in a single colour, with tissue paper, newspaper, wrapping paper, etc. We have chosen wrapping paper, combining different ones.<\/p>\n<p>Kraft coloured wrapping paper with geometric drawings in bright pink and yellow. We love this paper!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1633 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-7.jpg\" alt=\"surprise box 7\" width=\"753\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-7.jpg 753w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/surprise-box-7-300x132.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t they look cute?<\/p>\n<p>We wrap each side with a different pattern and the top part with our favourite.<\/p>\n<p>Ready!
