Where can I embed a gift guide slideshow like this?

Anywhere a tall image would go. The 4:5 portrait canvas (1536x1920) fits the side column of a collection page, a blog post about holiday gifting, or the top of a landing page on mobile, where portrait content fills the screen. Export it to HTML, React, Vue, Svelte, or Next.js, or publish a hosted link and embed that. The same file also exports as an MP4 for Instagram and Facebook feed posts, which use the same 4:5 ratio, and as individual images if you want a swipeable carousel instead of a loop.

How do the gold foil ribbons work?

Each ribbon is a slightly tilted shape filled with a three-stop gold gradient, which is what gives it the foil sheen without a photo texture. The italic Fraunces label sits on top of it - "for everyone on your list" on the cover, then "for the host", "for the early riser", "for the cook", and "for the one who has everything" on the gift panes. Because the gradient lives on the shape fill, you can recolor it to silver, copper, or a brand color in the shape settings, and the labels letter-fade in on each pane so the ribbon always feels like the headline.

Can I feature more or fewer than five gifts?

Yes. Every gift pane is self-contained: a paper card holding the product cutout, a kraft price tag, the product name in Fraunces, a short Inter description, and a "01 / 05" counter. Duplicate a pane to add a sixth gift, or delete one and renumber the counters. The fifth pane already shows how to pair two smaller gifts side by side, which is handy for stocking stuffers. Update the "Five gifts · under $120" line on the cover and replace the cutouts in the closing grid so the total still matches.

Holiday Gift Guide Template - Editorial Slideshow

A holiday gift guide that reads like a magazine spread instead of a promo banner. "The Gift Guide" stacks in burgundy Fraunces on warm ivory, a tilted gold foil ribbon reads "for everyone on your list", and a cream enamel kettle and a boxed candle trio sit at the foot of the cover. Built for the fictional home goods shop Hollowell & Co., this six-pane holiday gift guide slideshow walks through five gifts under $120 - each with its own recipient, kraft price tag, and one-line reason to buy - and closes on free gift wrap.

#What Makes This Template Stand Out

The design sells taste before it sells price, which is exactly what a gift guide should do. The palette is short: ivory paper, burgundy ink, a kraft tone for tags, and gold that only ever appears as foil. Fraunces carries the display type in both roman and italic - the italic is reserved for the "for the ..." recipient lines, so the voice of the guide always comes from the ribbon. Inter Tight sets the prices on the tags, Inter handles descriptions like "Matte cream enamel with a walnut handle and a spout built for slow mornings.", and a Space Mono counter ("02 / 05") keeps the spread feeling edited.

Structurally, every gift gets a full pane. A shared header keeps "The Gift Guide" in italic top-left and "HOLLOWELL & CO." top-right after the cover, the foil ribbon moves around each pane to frame the recipient, and the product sits on a rounded paper card with the price hanging off a kraft tag in the corner. The walnut serving board is "for the host" at $68, the pour-over kettle is "for the early riser" at $115, and the linen apron is "for the cook" at $54. The fifth pane splits into two cards - a candle trio at $42 and a stoneware mug pair at $36 - "for the one who has everything". The close gathers all five cutouts into a loose grid above "Free gift wrap through the holidays" and a burgundy "Shop the guide" pill.

Motion is soft, like paper being handled. Recipient labels letter-fade, the kraft tags pop in and their prices number-roll, product cutouts get a slow zoom, and supporting copy fades or resolves from a blur. Autoplay holds each gift for four and a half seconds with a 700ms transition and loops back to the cover, which is slow enough to actually read the descriptions.

#Who Should Use This Template

Home, lifestyle, and gift shops building a curated seasonal edit instead of a discount-led campaign.
Content and editorial teams who publish a yearly gift guide and want a visual centerpiece for the article.
Email marketers who need a holiday gift guide hero that feels premium next to the discount-heavy emails in the same inbox.
Makers and small brands on Shopify or Etsy with five or six hero products and no designer on call in December.

#Best Use Cases

#Holiday Gift Guide Slideshow on a Collection Page

Export to HTML or React and set the loop beside a "Gifts" collection grid. Shoppers browsing by recipient get a curated shortlist with prices up front, and the "Shop the guide" pill can carry a click action to the filtered collection so the slideshow becomes the entry point, not decoration.

#4:5 Instagram and Facebook Posts

Export the full loop as MP4 for a single feed video, or export each pane as an image and post a six-slide carousel where the cover is the hook and every swipe is one gift. The portrait ratio takes up more of the feed than a square, and the ivory background stands out against dark holiday creative.

Embed the hosted link at the top of a "gifts for everyone on your list" blog post, then repeat each product in the article body with longer copy and affiliate or product links. In a newsletter, use the cover as the hero image and link it to the hosted slideshow.
