To have all the baby gift?
Kate and William, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, whose baby is expected any day now, have been inundated by gifts ranging from the practical to what some may see as the downright bizarre.

The couple's local Asda supermarket in Anglesey, north Wales, where William is based as an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot, iphone Case has presented them with - wait for it - their very own parking space.
"The Duchess of Cambridge has graced the store with her presence several times before and we hope that the addition of her own parking space will entice her and her little prince or princess of Cambridge back to Asda," said the store's manager, Peter Ellis.
An ordinary parking space for parents with children has been decorated with crowns and the words "HRH reserved".
Fine jewellery-maker Theo Fennell said he was "thrilled" to have been asked by one company to create an 18-carat white gold bracelet valued at STG10,000 ($A16,571) for Kate.
The glamorous trinket also has a more mundane use - it is "the world's most luxurious nappy rash cream holder", digitizing embroidery according to a spokeswoman for Sudocrem, makers of the antiseptic healing product.
However, acknowledging that the duchess was likely to have received many lovely gifts, the spokeswoman said they would auction the bracelet for one of the charities of which she is patron.
Animal rights activists at PETA also put their thinking caps on and decided to send an imitation sheepskin rug to the couple cem1 pcb, because - they said - "sheepskin blankets traditionally given to newborns in some parts of the UK are products of animal suffering".
For the new baby's parents, PETA thoughtfully included some vegan caviar and "faux" gras.
Meanwhile, shortly before she was ousted recently as Australian prime minister, Julia Gillard told Women's Weekly magazine that she was knitting the couple a kangaroo.
Not to be outdone, the prime minister of New Zealand announced that he had an even more unusual gift in mind: "We're giving them Kim Dotcom," John Key reportedly joked at a media briefing.
Finland has already sent the royal couple a baby starter kit - traditionally given to all Finnish parents - containing everything from bra pads for breast-feeding, IP Camera Manufacturer to romper suits, condoms and nappies. The box itself doubles up as a crib.
"We were delighted to receive the very kind gift of the maternity package from the Finnish government," said a royal spokeswoman. "It was a very thoughtful gesture and we're very grateful for it."
The palace was more reticent about other gifts, saying only that they will be "logged" and the donors will be thanked.

Design principles
Gift packaging is different from the general commodity packaging, but also should follow the " tailored" principle, in accordance with the grade of the product design, the structure of scientific fertilizer suitable, beautiful novel, economical and practical packaging. The so-called " volume ", is to clarify the attributes of goods, quality, consumption, regional sales to wait; the so-called " cut ", is to determine the design pattern and design. In addition to the spirit of " science, packaging beautiful, practical, economic, marketing" principle, also taking into account the effect of environmental protection, which is on the evaluation of a production designer and packaging design standards. Only master " design connotation of scientific, artistic and practical, economic, promotion, environmental protection", grasp the design scale, can be done on the packaging design "tailor ". On the packaging of the overall market, especially the gift packaging market, packaging design is basically reflects the novel, unique, beautiful characteristic, but the rationality of packaging structure, there exist some problems, can cause our thinking gifts-and-premium.html.
The packaging structure, refers to the characteristics and requirements of different commodities, the size, material appropriate, with other different structure to package goods. Therefore, the packaging structure is measured by the " science ". The so-called scientific structure, one is open, easy to carry, processing is simple and easy to operate; the two is material saving, cost, and maximize the protection function of the commodity. In the commercial competition intense today, some managers and designers regardless of the interests of consumers and the lack of awareness of environmental protection market, through the visual illusion, to disguise, large loading, causing material waste and environmental pollution. Free from supermarket shelves take a box of chocolate gift apart to see, at the four layer, five layer of packaging, even the seven or eight layer is not in the minority. See in some traditional holidays in the consumer market, a superb collection of beautiful things gift packaging with shelves, some businessmen in order to achieve the purpose of competition, at the individual structure make a fuss, in raising commodity quality and price. These gift wrapped in the magnificent coat with a series of propaganda merchants to induce consumers. To food as an example: some cheap food should only low-grade packaging design, but some just small package packing, packing a large packaging, waste of space and materials. For example, a candy packaging: small packaging, packaging, box, the box cover lining in stamping and silver, the packing is beautiful, but the cost is higher than the product itself. Moreover, in recent years, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes packaging competition intensified, and even the emergence of the " price" moon cakes, the relevant state departments have to intervene, and formulate related policy and regulations, makes this undesirable competition has been curbed promotional-premium.html.
The value of packaging level depends on the product itself, precisely, is without packaging costs. In addition to gift packaging, special packaging, special product packaging, general packaging costs should be controlled in the whole commodity price is 10% to 30%. Economically, the lowest cost ( material in packaging, printing, production), to achieve the best effect of publicity, is a successful packaging of goods. If the increase too much packaging costs, can only be said to be excessive packaging, be flashy without substance, easy cause resentment among consumers. If businessmen believe that no matter what packaging, as long as we can achieve that " beauty ", do not cherish land in " material, process, structure, decoration " as far as we can, to luxury, so self-defeating.
In addition, in the numerous gift packaging, most of the material and the shape of the new, different, beautiful work hard advertising-premium.html.
A lot of development and application of new materials, packaging also provide more business opportunities. But the market gift packing material, plastic, metal and glass packaging applications, accounted for the vast majority, such as recycled paper with recycling recycling environmental protection material is seldom used in. It is no exaggeration to say, modern packaging design, the use of plastic has reached a luxury. At present, the use of plastic packaging is a vinyl resin for hundreds of years without resolution, the application of several layers of excessive packaging too numerous to mention in the market, resulting in " garbage accumulation of civilization ", brought about environmental problems difficult to repair to the human. Account for a considerable proportion of these wastes are the designers " design" out " works ". Among them, the paper accounted for 30%, accounting for 10% of metal, plastic glass accounted for 10%, accounted for 8%. The waste caused by pollution is a long-term, such as cans of metal materials like throw on the ground, a year later, only the surface of the paint peeling off, still so after five years, ten years after the slowly in the soil dissolved differentiation; glass, ten years is only fragments; plastic, five years later in the sunlight to resolve, such as the earth and sun in isolation, it will never disappear executive-business-gift.html.
Gift packaging market in China's overall lack the spirit of innovation, and gift packaging enterprises have not the energy conservation and environmental protection in an adequate position. And these two points, is precisely the next gift packaging market priority among priorities, all these should cause people's attention.
