Perfume is a thoughtful gift for many occasions, whether it is Christmas, Valentine's Day, a birthday, anniversary or any other gift-giving event. Although individual tastes in scents differ, you can make your gift alluring by customizing how you present it. Use different colors or patterns of cellophane wrap to make each gift suit the recipient's personality as well as the occasion. You can also include the perfume in a gift basket that includes other scented products, such as lotions, soaps, oils or body sprays.
Instructions
1. Place the perfume bottle into a box if it does not already come in one. Perfume boxes are available at cosmetic or craft supply stores and vary according to the size of the bottle, such as 2 ounces, 4 ounces and up.
2. Cut a sheet of colored cellophane wrap at least double the size of the perfume box. Spread the cellophane on your work surface and place the boxed perfume in the center.
3. Bring the wrap up around all sides of the box and bundle it at the top. Snip 8 inches of silk ribbon, secure it around the bundled top and tie it into a simple bow.
4. Write the name of the perfume, the name of the recipient or any other message on the self-adhesive label and affix it to the front of the wrapped perfume.
