INTERESTING. Have you ever thought where from came gift wrapping paper and idea to wrap gifts?
- Well, we should look back to the deep history, cause it‘s origins are in Asia. First utilization of wrapping paper was recorded in China 100 BC. It is believed that it was used for protecting items from damage.
- Later, during Victorian times was developed idea of artistic gift wrapping which was inspired by Christmas card. In this period Christmas papers were printed and ornamented with lace and ribbon.
- The main revolution in wrapping paper from decorative paper tissues, which was used back then, to the wrapping paper, which we use today, was implemented by brother Hallmarks in 1917. They story is quite interesting, cause they founded wrapping paper by coincident. During Christmas season brother Hallmark shop ran out of decorative paper tissues, so they decided try to sell decorative French paper which was usually used for lining envelopes. Brother Hallmarks attempt was successful, they stroke the gold. After few years they began to produce wrapping paper.
