Hands Holding a Gift SVG

About this design

This design is about giving. Two hands reach up from the bottom and hold out a wrapped present, with a ribbon crossing the box and a big bow on top. The hands, the box and the ribbon are all outlined with fine gaps, which separate each part and give the design a clean, illustrated look.

The design is twenty-two pieces with no closed cut-outs. The outlines are gaps between pieces, so they show whatever surface the design sits on. The shapes are bold overall, so it passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall.

Color layers

Design notes

The hands hold the gift out toward the viewer, which makes the design feel warm and personal. It says “this is for you” without any words.

Good to know

This design suits causes and community projects especially well: toy drives, food banks, volunteer days and charity events. It also makes a heartfelt thank-you card for someone who gave their time or a gift.

Two-color option

Cut the design twice, once in a skin tone or white for the hands and once in red or green for the gift, then trim each copy and layer them for a colorful version.

Choosing a size

At 5 to 6 inches, it fits cards. At 8 to 10 inches, it suits shirts and box labels. At 12 inches and up, it works as a sign.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border to join the pieces into one shape.
• Add a short message below it in your software.
