There are several ways to make a gift look more expensive. For starters, you can combine several small gifts together. An inexpensive mug, along with some tea or coffee, makes a great present, and none of the items are very expensive. You could also give an adult coloring book with some gel pens or a candle and hand lotion.
Another way to make a gift look more expensive is to wrap it well. Little touches like velvet ribbon or crafting twine lift a gift from ordinary to special. You can also top your present with something small, like a cookie-cutter, a sprig of flowers, or a handmade pom pom instead of (or in addition to) a bow. Present toppers really make a present pop. They’re inexpensive, but they look like you put a lot of thought and effort into your gift.
