Quick Answer
Use meeple gift toppers as the finishing touch on any board game present. They add a playful, personalized touch that any gamer will love before they even unwrap the box.
Why Meeple Toppers Work for Any Gift
Meeple gift toppers are more than just decorations—they signal that the gift inside is for a board game enthusiast. Whether you're wrapping a new game, an organizer, or dice set, a meeple on top sets the tone immediately.
These laser-cut wooden meeples are lightweight and sturdy, so they stay put on wrapping paper without bending or tearing. They also double as a keepsake; the recipient can repurpose them as game pieces or decorations after the unwrapping.
Choosing the Right Wrapping Paper
The meeple topper stands out best on solid or subtly patterned paper. Busy wrapping paper can hide the topper's silhouette, so opt for a contrasting color—like a bright meeple on neutral kraft paper or a dark meeple on light wrapping.
If you're wrapping a board game box, remember that the box itself is often a selling point. Consider wrapping just the lid or using a gift bag so the recipient can see the game art before they open it—and the meeple topper still adds the personal touch.
Step-by-Step: How to Apply Meeple Gift Toppers
- Wrap your gift securely: Wrap your board game or accessory in paper or a gift bag. Ensure the surface is smooth and flat where you plan to place the topper. A bumpy or uneven wrap can make the topper tilt or fall off.
- Peel or prepare the adhesive: If your meeple topper has an adhesive backing, peel it off and press firmly onto the wrapped gift. If it doesn't, use a small piece of double-sided tape or a glue dot. Test the adhesive on a scrap of wrapping paper first to avoid tearing the paper.
- Position the meeple: Center the meeple on the top of the gift, or offset it slightly for a playful look. Press down for a few seconds to ensure it sticks. Avoid placing it too close to the edge, where it may get knocked off during handling.
- Add a gift tag or ribbon: Attach a gift tag or tie a ribbon around the gift, positioning them so they complement the meeple topper without covering it. Keep the ribbon away from the topper's face so the meeple remains the star.
- Repurpose after unwrapping: After the gift is opened, gently remove the meeple topper and set it aside. The recipient can use it as a coaster, decoration, or even a replacement game piece. Store it in the game box or on a shelf to keep it as a keepsake.
