Gift ribbon is a decorative part of Christmas gift wrapping that complements a wrapped present. Adding ribbon to a Christmas gift lets you introduce colour and material that coordinate with the rest of the wrapping. The assortment includes festive gift ribbon in classic Christmas colours such as red, green and gold, as well as options in different materials.

The ribbon you choose mainly depends on how you want the finished Christmas present to look. Red and green are associated with a classic Christmas colour palette, while gold provides another option for combining colours in your gift wrapping. Different materials also make it possible to vary the details between presents.

Gift ribbon can be used alongside other Christmas wrapping. When choosing a ribbon, you can consider the colours already used on the present and combine them in different ways.

When wrapping several Christmas presents, you can use the same colour or type of ribbon for a more consistent look, or vary the wrapping with options such as jute twine, red and green ribbon. This makes gift ribbon a small but noticeable detail when wrapping presents for Christmas.
