anyone have a unique way of wrapping a gift?

Question

a unique GOOD way

Answer 1

I like to take a colorful scarf and bundle it around the gift and tie it in a bow. Throughout the year I look for unique wood boxes and paint them or decorate them in some way. This year I am using a cheese curing box (a round thing they keep cheese in not sure of real name for it) and I will be decorating it with red and green tissue paper torn into pieces and glued to the box. It comes out looking like a Mosaic on the box. For large boxes that are to big to wrap I use paint to cover up the pictures or description of what is in the box. I will usually paint different types of ornaments all over the box.

Have fun with it. Use your imagination.

For children I sometimes use the Sunday Comics for the color or find pictures of what inside and make a wrapping, just to see if they get the "Hint".
For adults, I have used fabric, newspaper w/ favorite articles and different weird things like, certain size boxes within each other like some cartoons we see, open the large and work down to a very small box with something real nice, usually jewelry for a woman.
A real fun one when it small like jewelry is use "Cracker Jacks" Box or the Bag. Try to easily open it from the bottom without damage. It can be done. Remove the Cracker-Jacks so you place the gift up top and have a few cover it and then replace the rest of the Cracker-Jacks and reseal the Box/Bag with a little glue and then wrap it. When they open it, everyone gets a laugh.
*Example*; Then tell them; "When I was young, the toy suprise was the first thing I wanted to see. Open it and let's see what the toy surprise is"! It real fun and I have done this often, with those that have not seen this.

I love wrapping gifts, and I am told that I am good at it, so I must be! Well if you are wrapping baked goods such as cookies, Set them nicely in a round golden tray, cover the cookies with suran wrap, then wrap it with plastic wrap like this:

When you tie the ribbon around the top, you can use a piece of construction paper, hole punch it, and tie it as a name tag for the gift.

You can also bake a loaf of bread, and put it in a large plastic gift bag (side ways.) Use a fake flower from the dollar store to tie up the open end.

For boxes, i first wrapt the gift in any kind of paper, newspaper even because it's gonna be all covered. once the gift box is wrapped in paper, find tissue paper. i like to take deep reds, and golds and other rich christmas colours (try to keep it simple, like.. no more than 2 colours, even one is nice and then u can accent it with a bow or real ribbon or even that decorative rope). what you do is you take pieces of the paper and you scrunch them up and with a glue gun, ley it down on the box to create texture. keep scrunching and gluing until the whole box is covered. It looks really professional and really beautiful too and it looks like you took a little extra time to wrap the gift for whoever the presant is for. have fun wrapping :)

i remember when i was little my mom gave my uncle a gift and wrapped it in a box...then put that box into a larger box and wrapped it, then into another box, and another, etc....until this small gift was wrapped in a box from a large tv......it was so funny to see him wonder what this huge gift was going to be just to find another box inside....and funny cuz it seemed like it was never gonna end......i don't even remember what the gift was....the wrapping was the best part!

Answer 6

I like using pieces of fabric and ribbon, especially for unusually shaped gifts. Discount fabric stores have fabric you wouldn't want to wear, but make fun reusable wrapping paper (especially if you sew the edges.)

Answer 7

This doesn't relate to Christmas presents, but for my baby shower I received a baby travel swing and the box was wrapped in a nice, soft, luxurious chenille blanket for me, and closed up with baby cloth diaper pins! I thought it was very creative, and everything was useful.

this may make you laugh, it is funny. one year at my grandfather's Birthday, my mom, aunt's,and my uncle bought my grandfather some cuff links, the gift was wrapped. then someone decided to keep wrapping it. they put it in box after box, until we had it in a huge box.it took my grandfather almost an hour to get to the cuff links. I never saw my grandfather laugh so hard. by the way, he loved the cuff links.
