Just under half of those surveyed also believe that the quality of the presentation (45%) and the quality of gift wrapping (44%) is also a major factor in helping make a gift special, while two in five (38%) say the same about the ribbon used. The use of a gift tag (25%) and the quality of the box (23%) are seen as making gifts stand out by roughly a quarter of all respondents, and 20% feel that the use of a gift topper can help make a gift stand out whether giving or receiving something special.
