We’ve got three ideas in this Journal post for you to try with bestselling Emma Britton Flutes, Carafes and Mini Carafe & Glass Sets, thanks to self titled Queen of Wrapping, Jane Means.
Jane has worked her magic on these three bestsellers all featuring Emma’s Silver Birch pattern that you’ll be proud to put under your tree. And it’s all possible in just a few easy steps you can follow in this post – time saving methods are always welcome at this time of year! Having wrapped for everyone from Chanel to Cartier, Selfridges, Mclaren and many more famous brands we’re so honoured Jane’s sharing her expertise here and hope you enjoy the tutorials.
If you’d like to see Jane physically wrapping all the glassware gifts featured below, head over to @emmabrittondecorativeglass on Instagram where reels await. These mini ‘how to’ films have been sped up, but even in double time you can see how achievable these gift wrapped glass looks are to do yourself.
A Pair of Silver Birch Flutes – Lovely for Couples and Friends
You might also choose these flutes in the meadow pattern, but whichever way you go simply pop a pair inside a beautiful gift box of your choosing and nestle into greenery. Add rosemary and dried orange slices for a great drinks garnish and the smell of the season on opening.
You can probably find lots of greenery in your own garden, just be sure to dry it properly first, and throw in a few Christmas tree cuttings and Eucalyptus too – it will smell divine.
Put the lid on your decorative box and tie with a beautiful bow. You should find some bow tying tricks on Jane’s own Instagram feed too.

The Best Hostess Gift – Silver Birch Carafe
This is a great gift to take to any Christmas dinners fabulous hostess friends and family are catering. Silver Birch, Meadow or Floral Carafes can all be wrapped up like this. A quick and chic way to present to your giftee and all you need is tissue paper, ribbon and any embellishments you want to add in.
Simply place your carafe in the centre of the tissue paper. Gather up the tissue up around the neck of the carafe, then keep working your way round pleating tight. Secure with a stylish ribbon and add some foliage or tie with a bow for an extra touch.
An effortless elegant wrap for gifting Emma Britton Carafes. These serve water, wine cocktails and more, and can be used for flower arrangements too. The gift that keeps on giving!

Best Guest Bedroom Present – Mini Carafe & Glass Sets
Mini Silver Birch and Meadow Carafe Sets with a glass that sits on top are hands down the most popular little gifts in the Emma Britton portfolio of presents. They’re a super idea left as little surprises in guest bedrooms this Christmas. Here’s how to wrap them, with lots of Jane Means style.
Cut your tissue paper to size leaving enough top and bottom and to pull round your carafe neatly. The key here really is double sided tape for neatness, put a strip on the long side, tear off, then lay your carafe horizontally and bring the paper round and secure.
There’s a clever trick to folding round a circle to get the top and bottom paper super tidy. Please head over to Instagram to watch how. Again, the tissue is secured top and bottom with double sided tape for neatness. This tape is a game changer for beautiful wrapping.
Finish with some gorgeous ribbon. Stand your carafe up on top of a length of ribbon. Pull up each side and tie in a bow with a little bauble for extra festive flourish. Secure the ribbon with double side tape underneath at the bottom, and at the top.
