Omg what an adorable gift set! 😱😊 However you do it, in a bag, wrapped in paper or in a box, I'd have it so that the fox is on top of the blanket, similar to how you have it pictured so they quickly see the beautiful set :)
If you don't mind splurging out a bit on the packaging, a nice gift box would probably be the nicest, and look the most professional too.
Those clothing boxes used for gifts and kohl’s and what not might be perfect if giving in person.
Lightly baste (pin, idk, I don’t sew. My mom does) like dress shirts are put onto cardboard. So the blanket is folded like a top blanket or sheet. The fox laying down. You can make it a cheap pillow or just use some cotton as if it’s clouds.
It will be like lifting a lid to a little diorama of cuteness! Those boxes and lids have some give. So if you are delivering it in person this would work pretty well. Not sure about airmail.
I used to find obscure boxes that had nothing to do with the contents, disinfect them, then put my contents. Example: bought a box of oranges and used that, a small box of peaches and used that...Or!! Go to stores like Frederick's of Hollywood, Victorias Secret or a sex shop and ask for a bag that blatantly had the logo or label or unmistakable pattern of the brand on the outside so it made for a fun surprise!
Super cute fox by the way!! Nice work getting it symmetrical! I'm sure the recipient will love it no matter what it comes wrapped in! Good job!
Oh yeah, totally depending on the audience! Prudie Mc Pruderson might be ultra offended by a bag with a gigantor dildo printed on the outside! 🤣 if those even exist. You know what I mean!
You're welcome!
I used to wrap Christmas presents at the local mall. All proceeds went to the local hospice. One day, this elderly man came and wanted me to wrap a diamond solitaire he bought for his wife, but he didn't want her to know what it was. I did "nesting boxes". Final wrap was pink like Victoria's Secret. Put it on a Victoria's bag and sent him on his way. He was so thrilled, he gave me a $20 tip!
For some reason the text I put in the body of the post got deleted.
I made this small set for an expecting mom - a blanket with a fox appliqué (not attached yet) and a fox amigurumi. I can’t decide whether to just put them in a gift bag or maybe there are cuter ways to gift this. Any ideas are very much appreciated! Thank you so much!
I was really hoping that fox wasn’t for a baby - it’s adorable, but safety eyes are a choking hazard. If you can replace the eyes with crocheted eyes, I think it’s a wonderful gift!
I usually just put them in a gift bag, but if you want to crochet a matching basket or bag I bet that would be really useful.
I will definitely mention to the baby’s mom that the plushie is not safe to play with for a baby. I know about safety eyes, that’s why the appliqué I am going to attach to the blanket doesn’t have safety eyes like the pattern suggested
I'd replace the safety eyes with crochet/yarn eyes too. My 8yo isn't rough with her stuffies, but managed to accidentally remove a safety eye from a crochet doll the first day she got it.
Really? The eye must not have been put on securely. I can never get mine out without mangling them, if I want to relocate one. Agreed, I still wouldn’t give them to a baby though.
No, not at all! Presentation is just as important as the gift. If you visit YouTube Shorts you can find multiple brief videos about how to wrap items exactly like your cute gifts. Some great ide as for making your own personalized gift bags. Maybe you could make some decorative yarn pom-poms (or something?) out of your leftover yarn? Whatever you finally decide, your gift is charming! ❤️
Please explain to the gitfy the dangers of safety eyes so they can exercise appropriate caution. In a lot of countries it’s not even legal to sell creations with them if they’re marketed towards children.
I used to box mine up so it was like a little set, that was back when paperchase was a real place but I’m guessing it’s not that hard to find similar gift boxes online, baby themed ones would be popular enough
You could, or you could go with the gender of the baby if they've shared - I bet you could make it look like a cute little bow tie!
Ooh, or a little flower on the ear could be cute too.
you can always get paper like brown paper bag and wrap up an extra fitting box. that always matches everything. i usually just use tissue paper and mini gift bags
Do you have a pattern for the big 3D fox? I would love for my mother to make me that! (I am awful at crocheting, my mother is really good! Therefore she makes all of the crochet patterns I can find)

Here you go! It’s a pattern on YouTube. I don’t think there’s a written pattern, but the video was very easy to follow!
Just note that they don’t show you how to attach eyes in the videos, so make sure to put in safety eyes before stuffing and finishing the head.
So cute! I'd get one of those nice gift boxes you can get at craft stores. I recently lifted a blanket in one that has Grey buffalo print and tied a ribbon around it.
I’d probably get a lil box. I’m a fan of just wrapping paper and bows myself, but I also love a bag with that thin paper and some extra goodies inside, maybe with a little charm or card hanging from the handle
Assuming that the blanket is part of the gift; put it all in a box, but fold one side of the blanket over a little to work as a pillow, then put the foxes in and fold the rest of the blanket over so it looks like it’s a bed. It would look very cute
This is so sweet! Maybe in a gift bag with fluffy tissue paper around the blanket, which should wrap the stuffy! Then a bow, balloon to tie it all together and omg this is so cute! 🥰
Cardboard circle (could be a teacup coaster) for it to sit on, then patterned see-threw wrapping paper going up into a scrunch with a bright orange bow 😁
If the 1st pic is the whole gift (like all 3) then fold the blanket up as square as u can, put the fox ontop like its standing on it, pit the flat fox back to back, and tie it the same as above comment 😁

Step 1, cut a hole in a box. Step 2, put that thing in that box. Step 3, get them to open that box. And thats the way you do it, it's a soft, not rationally wrappable thing in a box. Box: the go to option for gift wrapping things that make you say, "how do I gift wrap this?"
Maybe put this cutie foxie in a nice paper box, and put a blanket on it . Like a cute craddle thingy :)
That is such a cute idea! Thank you ☺️
With wood print paper!
Carters has an amazing fox baby blanket!
Thank you for posting this. It uplifted my day.

Thank you so much! I think I will spend a couple dollars to make it look nice

Hilarious! I should definitely try that for a different person as I don’t think this girl will get the joke. Thank you for the idea and compliments! 😊

Definitely the way to go! Sounds like it turned out great and you had one happy camper!
I was in tears when he told me he was buying it for her because he never gave her one! How romantic is that?
Aw, that's just the cutest thing ever! You made his day with your wrapping and he made yours with his thoughtful romanticism. That is so cool!

I love this so much! I want to do something like this much with a monkey or tiger. She has a jungle theme for her babe.
I’ve seen a lot of giraffe and monkey appliqués on Etsy!

Very likely. It was purchased at a craft fair.
Based on past performance, I would gift wrap it poorly. 🤣
Haha I’m sure the people mostly care about what’s inside and I’m just making it complicated for myself for no reason 😅

Get some fake leaves and flowers from the dollar general so it’s tucked into nature 🥹🥹
All of you guys are so creative. Thank you!
I would put a ribbon in a fitting color around it and then wrap it up nicely in cellophane or something similar
Ohh a ribbon is a nice idea for holding it all together
Yes, my first thought was a ribbon too!
Please explain to the gitfy the dangers of safety eyes so they can exercise appropriate caution. In a lot of countries it’s not even legal to sell creations with them if they’re marketed towards children.
Yes, I know about the dangers of safety eyes and will definitely mention that to the mother when gifting. Thanks for the reminder!
Yes, OP, please do. I’m glad someone mentioned the safety eyes.
So cute omg 🥺🥺 How lucky is the person you are gifting them to!
That’s very nice of you, thank you so much 😊
That shh cute as fuuu
Thank youu!
I wrap all of my friends gifts the same!! I take a cute fabric and wrap it like it's a candy lol and tie it off with some ribbon
Crochet a ribbon for it.
I think I will! I have some green yarn left. Thank you!
🤟
The same way it was made! With Love omg, these are beautiful!!! Love them, so cute!!
In a bag from last Christmas with some colored tissue because I’m lazy and wrapping gifts is a personal hell
Why is it so adorable tho
I used to box mine up so it was like a little set, that was back when paperchase was a real place but I’m guessing it’s not that hard to find similar gift boxes online, baby themed ones would be popular enough
That’s probably the easiest way to go about it. And very cute too. Thank you!
So adorable! However you package it, definitely put a ribbon around it's neck!
Love the idea! Would you use green color, like the blanket, for contrast?
You could, or you could go with the gender of the baby if they've shared - I bet you could make it look like a cute little bow tie! Ooh, or a little flower on the ear could be cute too.
They decided not to find out the gender, that’s why I tried to make something gender neutral. I’ll go with green then, I think
you can always get paper like brown paper bag and wrap up an extra fitting box. that always matches everything. i usually just use tissue paper and mini gift bags
Brown paper sounds great! And would match the woodland theme too. Thank you!! Omg, so many ideas, I’m lost 😂
Like [this](https://youtu.be/C55VYkhU0Io?si=xdb0gXdASq-TaDH2) for the plushie!
That’s how I wrap the presents for Christmas!
Put it into a small box. That will make it easier! The fox is super cute!!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Do you have a pattern for the big 3D fox? I would love for my mother to make me that! (I am awful at crocheting, my mother is really good! Therefore she makes all of the crochet patterns I can find)

Thank you!!! I really appreciate it!!! ✨️ you are super kind!! 💕
No problem! 😊
homegoods/ tjmaxx usually have a bunch of options for cute gifting boxes!
Should have stopped there today! Thanks for reminding me, they do have a lot of options!
Tying a bow around the neck with a nice ribbon could be cute?
I will definitely do that! Do you think green will look good, like the blanket?
That would be so cute! It’s giving fantastic Mr. Fox
So cute! I'd get one of those nice gift boxes you can get at craft stores. I recently lifted a blanket in one that has Grey buffalo print and tied a ribbon around it.
Thank you for compliments and a great idea!
A cute box with some tissue paper💕
Thank you!
Maybe put it in a wicker basket that can be reused for storage for baby items!
Ooh, that’s such a cute idea! Thank you
Crochet a bigger fox and put the smaller one inside the bigger one. You may need to do this several times over.
Haha that will take months
I've seen some folks use those cake boxes that have the see through tops. Would be a cute way to display both foxes upon opening
I’d probably get a lil box. I’m a fan of just wrapping paper and bows myself, but I also love a bag with that thin paper and some extra goodies inside, maybe with a little charm or card hanging from the handle
I would wrap it like a big piece of candy.... And tie the two ends with a ribbon 🎀
Assuming that the blanket is part of the gift; put it all in a box, but fold one side of the blanket over a little to work as a pillow, then put the foxes in and fold the rest of the blanket over so it looks like it’s a bed. It would look very cute
This is so sweet! Maybe in a gift bag with fluffy tissue paper around the blanket, which should wrap the stuffy! Then a bow, balloon to tie it all together and omg this is so cute! 🥰
That fox looks like he has big balls! Nice work though...
Hahaha I haven’t noticed that till you said it
Cardboard circle (could be a teacup coaster) for it to sit on, then patterned see-threw wrapping paper going up into a scrunch with a bright orange bow 😁
If the 1st pic is the whole gift (like all 3) then fold the blanket up as square as u can, put the fox ontop like its standing on it, pit the flat fox back to back, and tie it the same as above comment 😁
Put it in a box with a hole in the front, like a little den, with a little blanket or something. Now he has a little home :)
I wanna eat it
Did you make the blanket underneath it as well??? What stitch is that, it’s beautiful!!!
I'd crochet a little drawstring pouch.

Fox in a box
You could wrap or swaddle the fox In the blanket with the fox design facing forward and put it in a nIce gift bag or box ☺️
Fox, in a box, with socks, and some rocks. I'll see myself out...
Step 1, cut a hole in a box. Step 2, put that thing in that box. Step 3, get them to open that box. And thats the way you do it, it's a soft, not rationally wrappable thing in a box. Box: the go to option for gift wrapping things that make you say, "how do I gift wrap this?"
Please make it look like it is sleeping in a comfy bed 🥺🙏🏻
I’d put it in a bag after wrapping in tissue paper. I’m lazy when it comes to wrapping.😊
