Enhance your wrapped gift with a ribbon or bow. For a baby girl, choose an iridescent pink ribbon; wrap the ribbon around the gift, knot it at the top, and curl the loose ribbon strips using your scissors. If you are giving a gift to a baby boy, wrap the present in a vibrant green, blue and yellow grosgrain ribbon. Use festive ribbons for holiday gifts, such as a black ribbon featuring white spiderwebs for Halloween.

As a creative touch, tie a charm or small toy to the end of the ribbon. Use a pacifier, a tiny stuffed teddy bear or a baby bottle replica. Like the ribbon, you can also choose items that represent specific holidays, such as a small stuffed rabbit for Easter.

Attach a gift tag to the present. You can tie a tag onto the ribbon using string, or place a sticker tag directly onto the gift.
