Holidays to Inspire my Gift Wrap Range

Answering important questions to determine the direction I want to take my gift wrap range concluded that I want to target an older, more mature audience. The coronavirus pandemic has had an effect on my outlook on life, and I want to create a range that could reflect this. Now feeling grateful, appreciative, optimistic and excited, the pandemic finally seems to be coming to an end in spring - a season of growth and transformation.

Combining these feelings with the time of year, I began looking into holidays that aim to appreciate and raise awareness of yearly celebrations that may often go a miss. Holidays, aside from the most popular ones such as christmas, birthdays and easter, are often most acknowledged by adults and the people that are committed to celebrating days dedicated to their interests or hobbies - reasons to support a more defined and sensible colour palette.
