4 Ways To Use Carvajal Packaging To Wrap Your Christmas Gifts

It might be the most wonderful time of the year, but let’s face it—coming up with new gift ideas can be stressful and expensive. Luckily, our packaging products at Carvajal are designed with versatility, sustainability, and creativity in mind. Whether you’re gifting on a budget or simply seeking fun ways to present your presents, try out one of these holiday themed gift and gift packaging ideas, courtesy of your friends at Carvajal. After all, finding new ways to show love and appreciation to not only your loved ones, but to our planet as well, is a gift that keeps on giving.

1. Use Bioform As A Nifty Pot For A New Plant
If you’re waiting on new holiday gift ideas to bloom, we’ve got you covered. Not only do our Bioform products offer a sustainable alternative to foam containers, they’re sturdy enough to hold a variety of wet and dry goods, including plants and succulents. So, when you’re brainstorming gifts or decoration ideas for your next holiday party, consider using a Bioform container as a pot, and watch the excitement blossom. If you or your loved one are planning on repotting, you can easily repot the entire plant into a bigger pot. We call this a biodegradable Bioform bonus.

2. Use a PET Cup For A Candy Cane Bouquet
This next idea is simple, seasonal, and sweet as can be—use Carvajal’s PET cup as a sustainable vase for a candy cane bouquet! When it comes to Carvajal products, the creative possibilities are endless. Our PET cups can be washed and reused, expertly designed for reducing waste. You can dress up your new vase with your own crafty touch by painting it, wrapping a bow around it, cutting and pasting your very own paper-made reindeer, and the list goes on and on. Your candy cane bouquet can be used as decoration, a gift, a party favor, or you can even leave it out for Santa.

3. Use Convermex Or Converpro As A Christmas Cookie Container
Christmas cookies are a holiday must-have. If you’re delivering a homemade batch to a neighbor or friend, try packaging them in a Converpro container. Not only does this offer optimal protection and safety, you can personalize and style them to your liking. Plus, they’re fully compostable and biodegradable. If you’re bringing a batch to a holiday gathering, you can present them beautifully on a Convermex tray, a top-of-the-line product that’s been carefully crafted for premium insulation. Decorations aren’t just for the cookies—get in touch with your creative side and add your own very special Christmas kick by accessorizing your Converpro container or outlining your Convermex trey with holiday-themed ribbon. It’s always the thought that counts.

4. Use PET Cups As a Jar For A Layered Hot Chocolate Mix
‘Tis the season for warm fires and hot chocolate, so why not go all out? This next idea comes with a special kind of meal prep—a hot chocolate mix layered with marshmallows and other goodies. Not only is the recipe easy to follow, it’s an inexpensive way to showcase your thoughtfulness as well as your creativity. First, you’ll use a PET cup as your jar. Then, you’ll layer your hot chocolate powder mix, adding crushed peppermints, peanut butter or chocolate chips, or even espresso powder depending on the preferance of your loved ones. Lastly, you’ll need to top it off with marshmallows. Maybe sprinkle it off with cinnamon—a little extra sweetness to show how much you really care.

The holidays are a very special time, but it’s easy to forget about the environment when packaging and wrapping our very special gifts. This year, let’s work together to reduce waste by reusing and recycling. At Carvajal, we are dedicated to exploring new ways of using and reusing our products to protect our environment and sustain our planet’s resources.
