The Art of a Perfect Christmas: Small Details, Big Magic!

A truly magical Christmas is in the details—from beautifully wrapped gifts to a stunning tablescape and heartfelt traditions. Here’s how Alischa Hermann, founder of Bespoke Letterpress, elevates her holiday celebrations with personal touches.

GIFT WRAPPING

Creating a magical Christmas for me is all about thoughtful touches that elevate your celebrations, from beautifully wrapped gifts to a stunning tablescape and heartfelt traditions. It begins with wrapping, where every detail matters. My top tip is to start by choosing a ribbon that complements the accent colours in your wrapping paper – for example, if the paper features hints of gold, like our beautiful Christmas Holly Gift Wrap, a gold ribbon will tie the design together perfectly. I often will also add a second ribbon in a contrasting colour for added flair. Then, I always add an extra touch of charm by adorning gifts with ornaments.

This year, our Enamel Alphabet Ornaments or Christmas Enamel Ornaments are my go-to’s – they’re not only elegant but also double as keepsakes. Our heavyweight and recyclable gift wrap allows you to create beautiful crisp folds needed for flawless wrapping – simply use your fingers to pinch the paper as you fold. And, of course, double sided tape is a must for a seamless look!

THE PERFECT TABLE

For me, a beautifully set table creates the perfect atmosphere for a Christmas gathering, and our Hydrangea Tablecloth is the ideal foundation with its elegant floral design by Bethany Linz. Build on this by selecting a timeless colour palette like rich greens, reds, and golds, and layer textures to add depth, like napkins tied with ribbons and Christmas themed candles. I then like to personalise place settings with special touches like our Enamel Alphabet Ornaments, tied to napkins or glasses, and gifts for each person. For a memorable and fun touch, our Christmas Cracker adds a delightful touch to your table.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Beyond décor, Christmas for our family is about creating moments that become cherished memories. Our Christmas Cracker Kits are a wonderful way to personalise the festivities. Fill them with your favourite small treasures like chocolates, handwritten notes, tiny trinkets, or even a festive joke. Our personalised Enamel Christmas Ornaments and brand-new Christmas Stockings with personalised embroidery are another way to craft lasting memories and traditions. You can have our ornaments engraved with your children’s drawings or handwritten messages and use them to decorate gifts, place settings, or on the tree itself. These little details are sure to delight and will be treasured long after the season is over.
