Answer 2

use a pretty dish towel or scarf to wrap and tie at the top with ribbon. Use plain brown paper or a solid color paper. Make it special with stampers from the craft dept, such as snowflakes, candy canes, etc.--or add on holiday stickers found in the scrap book dept. Tie with colored raffia.
