To avoid using too much paper to wrap an Apple MacBook Pro laptop, she didn’t wrap it horizontally or vertically but instead tilted the box and wrapped it diagonally.
The corners of the paper met in the centre of the present and she was able to wrap the gift perfectly.
‘Hack: save paper when gift wrapping,’ she captioned the video.
The unique wrapping style does not only save money, but the end result looks elegant and professional.
One viewer said they were loving Mila’s gift wrapping hacks while another said the video was ‘so satisfying’ to watch.
Since no gift is complete without a bow, Mila also shared a video to show her followers how to tie a Tiffany-style bow.
The key to the perfect ribbon is to cut it five times the length of the gift and wrap it on top of itself twice before tying the bow.
In the short TikTok video, she demonstrated the process starts by placing the elegant gold ribbon over the wrapped gift and then tying it around horizontally.
In the centre, she then folded one ribbon strand upwards creating a right angle and continued to wrap the ribbon vertically.

Next, the long strand was tucked under the cross intersection in the middle and secured with a gentle pull.
She then tied the bow and trimmed the ends of the ribbon, revealing a stunning gift.
Mila’s tips and tricks are perfect for those who are planning to save some money this year by wrapping their own Christmas gifts.
