Love how conscious you are of not ripping the paper, my mother would always save it and reuse it, and I picked that habit up from her, it reminds me of her
Reusing paper is so good. I hate tearing up these beautiful printed papers. The papers are a gift from them too. I reuse many and take pleasure and now people wrap my presents in beautiful hand picked paper bc they know im "gentle" with it and save and reuse them.😂🎉. May 2025 be kind and gentle to all.🎉🎉🎉
I love your content. The wrapping segment took me back several years when I used to wrap gifts with heavy, lovely wrapping paper. Then I discovered decorative shopping bags (yeek!) and stopped using wrapping paper. I have prepared my gifts in decorative bags this year. But next year I m returning to wrapping paper because of u. Thank you.
I am at the „no violence“ and „think about the sounds you make“ part. I love this so much. I suffered from sudden hearing loss this year and was super sensitive to sounds like plastic bags, sneezing and these kinds of chrustling sounds. It is so kind of you to think about this!
Lucky are those who receive a thoughtful, well-wrapped gift❤ Rajiv, you are an absolute delight. Watching your channel just fills me with a sense of calm. Nandri vanakkam 💕
I’ve still got a two piece box that I wrapped for myself more than 20 years ago. I had done a collage of flower pictures and then used colour photocopies of my collage to wrap the box. Admittedly, I didn’t do the neatest job on the inside (or the corners) but It’s lasted really well considering it’s just card and paper. I use it to store a few spare craft items in. This video makes me want to wrap more boxes…. And do a neater job of it!
You are a class act my friend! I absolutely love your channel. I have learned so much from watching you, and I’m 60-years-old….proof positive that you’re never too old to learn new things! Thank you for sharing yourself with the world!😁
So beautiful and certainly makes the receiver of the gift feel special. I love that you can open it without destroying it. A lot much more than wrapping tips going on here. This week has been stressful and this was a wonderful reminder- and the best way to start my day TYFS
I was so happy the first time I se a video of Rajiv doing fancy gift wrapping using all kinds of tools. It’s been years now that I use brown paper only with no tape (double tape in extreme cases). I use pins, wax seals, yarn fuzzy balls (to make a package look like a reindeer) and even hole puncher to make designs on the brown paper. Brown paper is so versatile and it gets my creative juice flowing. I love it. Thanks for giving us more tools to add to our gift wrapping bag of tricks.
I used my old academic posters from research conferences to wrap baby shower presents for my friend and colleague from grad school. It was probably the best use of the research!
Oh the memories are stirring! Making wrapping paper with my kids when they were little was so much fun! We’d cut simple stamps out of potatoes- like a heart or star, then dip in bright poster paint to decorate brown paper. Also carefully dipping white folded tissue paper in little dishes of different food colorings. A cool iron to smooth out the dried dyed pieces revealed such gorgeous designs! Makes me want to try this again! What an inspiration you are Rajiv! 💖
If only you knew how comforting it is to find someone as nutty as I… Yes, Rajiv~ wrapping a gift with a separate top and bottom is a gift itself borne of love - within a gift itself borne of love. You don’t know it until you know it. A safe, healthy and happy holiday to you , and to all who mean the most to your heart. 🎄 Deep respect from a fellow New Yorker.
your mom reminds me of mine when she'd reprimand me 😅. "Finesse!", she'd say. i get it, though! no need to be making clanging and thudding and booming sounds. good times 😂 thanks so much for the lovely content ❤️ i was totes gonna use wax seals this year. i love your technique!
How lucky are your friends to receive such a beautiful gifts 💝 By the way I got myself a foam maker and I have been enjoying making hot chocolate ☕️ with foam . So many nice things to learn from you. You bring such a joy in our lives. Thank you 🙏🏼
I stopped using tape to wrap gifts years ago because of Rajiv and everyone is always so impressed! I also love the two piece box technique! I keep the high quality boxes from things I purchase, but I feel like I’m hoarding them because I cant use them all around my house. But I also don’t want to give gifts in them because of the logo. This is perfect for those!!!
Exquisite!!!! This vid brings me to my days when I would wrap all my sisters gifts… the wrapping from the paper and extra details make a huge impression. Now I want to buy a gift to wrap it. I can tell by the sound of the cutting that is a good weighted paper and it’s also gorgeous
When I find nice boxes with a lid, I will often do this technique with Christmas paper. What is funny is those boxes go into rotation for whichever family member is hosting, and reappear from year to year.
Rubber Cement! Of course! Ever since I took photography in high school, rubber cement became my favorite glue lol. I can't believe I never thought of it for gift wrapping before. It's genius!
Every year I think about our Christmas gift wrapping and choose papers that mix and match or fit a theme (preferably not all from the same store or brand). I combine them with brown kraft paper and white butchers paper and a selection of twines and ribbons that I have collected on sale over the year. Everyone in the household takes turns wrapping their gifts and making their own combinations of paper and ribbons. I usually buy my gift wrap at the end of season sales for 1/10th of the original price and we end up with a beautiful pile of gifts under the tree that often costs no more than $10 to $15 to wrap. I have all boys but I have taught them how to wrap gifts over the years so they can take the time to beautifully wrap gifts for partners, family and friends.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I always say it is all about the presentation. When I gave my co workers gifts they never wanted to open because of the wrapping. 😊
I love your pieces of living well, Rajiv... my cousin who died in 1986 and I would always do these kind of things together; unusual, especially for kids from Texas. We were both artists and felt so grateful for being kin to each other. I miss him every day.
You're such a wonderful human Rajiv... living with such care, generosity of spirit, joy and beauty. I'm truly inspired by you and your lovely way of being. Wishing you every happiness and a truly magical and joyful Christmas and New Year 😊
3:32 Thank you for sharing that tip about scent and music being to last memories to dissipate - I truly wish I had known that before Alzheimer’s took my Grandfather. He was so instrumentally important in my life and watching his life deteriorate was so heartbreaking to us, and frustrating to him. I’ll keep this nugget in my pocket, tho! It’s funny, I always try to have music playing and candles/incense/simmer pots going when my kids come back from their dad’s. Hopefully that’s something positive that they remember forever!
Growing up in Scotland (many years ago) at the beginning of the new school term we were handed out the books that we would be using for the coming year. We had to take them home and "batter" the covers using brown paper. The technique was more or less with the same as you used to cover the boxes. Children's shoe boxes are a really good size to cover in this way. I love receiving anything in tissue paper so I like to stuff the boxes I have covered with tissue paper then nestle in the gift.
When wrapping a whole box, try attaching a ribbon to the inside end of the bottom with a staple before wrapping. You will have to accommodate the ribbon when folding the end. The purpose is to leave it hanging slightly out of the end to help open the box smoothly and easily.
Don’t be frantic! Do a little bit every evening, so that you don’t get too overwhelmed. Happy Holidays Rajiv! You always bring such great content ❤ 🎄 🎁
Ooh! Little ribbon tabs glued inside the top half of the box can help pull the halves of the box apart without a struggle. Or just lay a ribbon on top of the gift and you can pull both ends
Thank you for crossing that t! I practice what I call “craptastic” gift wrapping, handed down from my mother, where you do it the best you can, and quickly and then just LOVE the results and know that the recipient will too. Wrinkles and funny corners and all.
Although not a present, I wrapped my Lietner box with paper, I also put a sympke design on the paper, but I used the blank giant sticky note paper for it, it came out nice, this was about a year ago, I definitely want to try/get some if that cavalini paper, it looks like beautiful paper, for journaling that paper would also be a joy to use, the scraps.
My mother- in- law, bless her, did like you did...all the parcels and then left the "glue" to set overnight. Next day, all the parcels were open. She clucked and shook her head. Where's that glue.....? Oh no, it was that tube of nose remedy she had been recently prescribed.
You sweet and adorable, magical human.. lovely. I hope you are gifted with things that make you equally if not more joyful and happy. Holiday Blessings to You❣
You are delightful. I love taking the time to wrap nice presents. This year I have very little money for presents, so I made things myself, but I will also make boxes with homemade wapping paper. I don't know if people will appreciate, but I will 🙂
I get the same feels from watching these videos as I did from watching Bob Ross back in the day. To watch someone enjoy what they do is so satisfying! ♥️
Mean Girls Vibe: 7:45 “NOOO, YOU CAAAAN’T” P.S. Great tips, especially the rubber cement!! Thank you so much for the beautiful, helpful, and calming videos!! And I am always grateful for the little tidbits of info in all of your videos (ex: Alzheimer’s smell/music tip and being conscientious of making noise). You are a true gem and joy! Thank you for all you share with us!!! I’m gonna watch Mean Girls tonight to see your scenes!!! ❤
So happy this video was recommended to me today I dident know about rubber cement I have seen it when I moved to the United States years ago but never knew what it was until now
The nice surprice would be you get your gift from the same wrapping paper you used to your friend which circulated amung few friends and come to you back and when you open this paper you will think about how many people touched this papre and opened and enjoyed. Perhaps we all shpuld start this when we do the secret Santa who is returning your paper thoughtfully and carefully! Love so much the passion he put on every little details!
I adore brown paper for wrapping! Can add details to the paper, cute extras like pine cones with jute string or fancy ribbon. Great idea to use the glue
Your videos bring such wonderful joy Rajiv. Thank you for sharing your priceless tips with us, beautiful ideas and beautiful papers. The happiness on your face and sheer joy as you looked at the finished covered box was so heartwarming to see. The time you take to make these videos is much appreciated Rajiv. By the way I feel the same way as your Mum did about being noisy. Stay blessed always and take care. Enjoy the upcoming holidays.❤
Oh yes, I remember rubber cement! As soo as you said it, I got the scent memory! Do you also remember the pasty glue the teacher would put on a small piece of cardstock and you'd apply it with a small brush? Beautiful gift wrapping! Happy Holidays, Rajiv! S.
Beautiful video on intentional living. A gentle reminder on why we are gifting. Thank you for a wonderful lesson on the purpose of doing something ❤️ i really enjoy your videos! நன்றி🙏
im from russia and im a first post-soviet generation kid (i was born at the end of 90s). i still remember the shock of seeing american christmas movies, where kids were distroying present wraps, tearing it in pieces in seconds. we actually discussed this practicee a lot with people of my age when we were kids, because everyone had this cultural shock and a lot of emotions by those scenes. im not saying its a bad way to receive presents, some of the kids we discussed it actually told me they wished to have a pile of presents in this colourful papers to destroy like their favourite movie heroes, but this practice still havent grown on me.
Thank you Rajiv! I agree, the wrapping is an extension of the gift. I laughed out loud when you mentioned the scent of rubber cement. I also thought about the blue printing ink from grade school! I just wenr to your website. Oh my! It is so elegant! Bravo! Congratulations, everything is sold out. I look forward to seeing your future offerings. Merry Christmas from South Georgia. 🎄 🎅 🌲
I’d be happy just to receive that wrapped box without the gloves because it’s so beautiful. 😂. Rajiv you make everything you touch into a work of art. Merry Christmas to you.

Imagine being lucky enough to get a gift from Rajiv. ❤
I was just thinking the same thing! It can even be empty, I just want something wrapped.
@@annabaker6005yes just a thought counts.
He brings bagels every time he comes up from the city . NO wrapping but he is thinking of something I love getting :)
❤❤❤❤❤
Oh yes. I would be thrilled with a paper clip from Rajiv!😊
I watch Hollywood films with my thumb on the FFW button. But THIS I watched from start to finish.... What sorcery doest thou weave Master Surendra!!?
Nice reflection on your mother. Gently closing a door also reflects a person’s force. Use no more force than is needed.
First time seeing something tacky on this channel! 😅
Rajiv is genuinely one of my favorite human beings
My go to wrapping paper was always the colored cartoon section of the Sunday newspaper….back in the olden days!😂 Love you Rajiv!!😘🙏🥰
I did that before too, back in the day!!
Love how conscious you are of not ripping the paper, my mother would always save it and reuse it, and I picked that habit up from her, it reminds me of her
Great tips! My real takeaway is that not every Christmas gift needs to be wrapped in holiday themed paper.
Be different, be unique ✨️
Rajiv, I find it so very helpful when you think out loud…but not loud “loud”…gently. 🤗🌸🐝
The sheer joy on your face at 34:49 is what the holidays are all about, sharing what you love with the people in your life ❤
LOL 😊 yes - I thought the same thing. This video made ME so happy too
Reusing paper is so good. I hate tearing up these beautiful printed papers. The papers are a gift from them too. I reuse many and take pleasure and now people wrap my presents in beautiful hand picked paper bc they know im "gentle" with it and save and reuse them.😂🎉. May 2025 be kind and gentle to all.🎉🎉🎉
I use thrifted wrappingpaper books from the 90s. They look luxurious.
Where do you find those? Sounds lovely!

Me too. When I was a child after we opened our birthday or Christmas presents we would use the wrapping paper to line our dresser drawers.
I am at the „no violence“ and „think about the sounds you make“ part. I love this so much. I suffered from sudden hearing loss this year and was super sensitive to sounds like plastic bags, sneezing and these kinds of chrustling sounds. It is so kind of you to think about this!

It would make you feel so special to get a present wrapped with such consideration and care.
Not to mention the tag and the handwriting!!!
Butterflies because the shape of a harp is like a butterfly wing 🦋
I never thought of that. I love it!

You were so joyful while you were wrapping. It made me smile. Hope the holidays make you smile just like on your video!
At times he seems giddy. I just love his approach to life.
His joy in gift wrapping is infectious. It made me smile too. 😄

When I wrap gifts, part of the present is the wrapping of it.
Great video!
Rajiv is the gift that keeps on giving! Thank you so much!
Watching you is so enjoyable & a reminder of how much I love to gift wrap, myself💝 Gorgeous paper!
You're such a wonderful human Rajiv... living with such care, generosity of spirit, joy and beauty. I'm truly inspired by you and your lovely way of being. Wishing you every happiness and a truly magical and joyful Christmas and New Year 😊
Gorgeously seamless.
No other words required.
I learned something new about Rubber Cement application! Thanks Rajiv!
Yes whomever get your gifts are very lucky as you have amazing taste of unusual and unique things. ❤️🙏❤️
Wonderful Rajiv!!! Thank you.
I Could not agree more with you and your mother about offensive noise..

Beautiful! Works of art and gifts themselves!
I love it! I just love it! Thank You Rajiv!! Much love sent your way! ❤
Oh man I wrapped some things yesterday and was wishing someone would teach me how lol
Thank you Rajiv, you are a special teacher. I can't wait to shop All Things By Rajiv.
Thank you for crossing that t! I practice what I call “craptastic” gift wrapping, handed down from my mother, where you do it the best you can, and quickly and then just LOVE the results and know that the recipient will too. Wrinkles and funny corners and all.
Perfect timing! I was thinking about wrapping boxes this year. Excellent tips ❤❤
Rubber cement! Genius! I like to make junk journals so I save every scrap of wrapping paper, ribbon, and anything else that comes with the gift.😊
@@mhtammi i want to start a junk journal. They are so beautiful!
I can't wait to try all these ways of wrapping gifts Rajiv. Great video yet again! Happy Christmas from Australia x

I loved this video so much!! I checked out the paper and they are so beautiful.

Sometimes I’m concerned that my wrapping is so special that the gift is a letdown. 😂. I love wrapping gifts!
Me too! I love wrapping so much.
Same!! I will fancy wrap the silliest, small gifts.
I get the same feels from watching these videos as I did from watching Bob Ross back in the day. To watch someone enjoy what they do is so satisfying! ♥️
Your gifts are beautiful inside and out! ❤

Loved seeing a curry leaf plant in the room 😊.
Oooh made a cup of tea for this❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing! Truly loved and learned a lot.
I adore brown paper for wrapping! Can add details to the paper, cute extras like pine cones with jute string or fancy ribbon. Great idea to use the glue
I remember the white paste in a bottle similar to rubber cement, from elementary school.
I don't remember rubber cement until older.
I already love it. Happy Holidays. 🎈🎈

Your green vase is now reproduced in greenware, ready for firing! My first pottery project in 45 yrs, haha.
