Gift boxes, Hogswatch baubles, wooden guitars, wooden binders, and instrument cases can be decorated in various ways, including painting them, covering them in fabric or wrapping paper, decorating them with a pattern, and inscribing them with text. This can be done in a variety of fabrics, papers, glitters and colours. Hogswatch baubles can also be marbled.
