How would you wrap these things?

My niece is at an age where she wants to start playing around with makeup and after discussing it with her mother, we decided that I would buy her some stuff.

I've got her a makeup organiser as well as lipstick/gloss, eyeshadows, mascara etc etc, you know, the usual stuff.

I can't decide how best to wrap them though. Do I wrap the box and all the other things individually, do I wrap the box and all the other things individually but put them inside the box or do I just put everything in the box and just wrap the box?

I've been thinking for days and I can't decide!

You could wrap them individually and say ooh you'll need an organiser for those. Then she opens the organiser

I would put the make up inside the organiser and wrap it as one.

I quite like the idea of giving her the box after actually.. I just want to get this right😁

I would put the make up wrapped in tissue inside a cardboard box (or gift bag) then I would wrap the organiser as a separate gift.

It’s hard when they are getting older and starting to experiment because they want things that are naturally smaller gifts but are young enough to still enjoy the excitement of opening!

So each individual make up item wrapped in a piece of tissue paper then inside a gift bag I would do, not sure my previous post made that much sense Grin

As a 'pass the parcel' type gift- wrap the organiser in the middle then an item of make up in each layer. Alternate gift wraps so she doesn't pull 2 off at once and lose something

If she will already have lots to unwrap, I'd do a box with the organiser wrapped up inside and then the other bits in beside it in tissue paper and the overall box wrapped. If she wont have much to open then I'd wrap everything separately and then decide if you want her to open the organiser or the make up first.

I would group them, like wrap all the eye shadows together, all the lipsticks and lipgloss together and so on. To could give her the organisor first so she's be like what's this for?... And then come all the make up.
