One of my brothers and I have a running thing that we give our presents to each in other creative, weird, silly, whatever! ways to each other and I need something good this year. In the past it started with wrapping the presents a million times, then we would send each other on scavenger hunts and stuff, and then last year he gave me a box of about one hundred keys and sent me on a hunt type thing that led to a tool box with chains wrapped around and three bolts closing it and I had to go through the keys one by one to get all three locks open. Took about thirty minutes to get the first lock and then about ten more minutes to finish. So as you can see its pretty all out. ANY IDEAS? or suggestions that can lead to ideas? Anything!!

I do not want to do multiple layers because we've pretty done it everywayy possible. Unless you have something super unique. (we have done the layers with tape or duct tape or shrink wrap or plastic wrap... everything)

wrap a present in plastic, then freeze it in a huge block of ice, then sculpt the ice and use it as a centrepiece for the christmas table. Tell him he has to wait until the centerpiece either melts or dinner is over.

If it's a gift with many parts, roll it into a ball. Buy several rolls of party streamers and roll streamer around a round base (like a rolled-up tube of socks) so it thoroughly covers it. As you wrap, after several layers, put in one part of the gift, then continue to wrap the streamer. As you add layers and items, it will get fairly large. On the last end attach a piece of paper that says "pull." He'll have to madly unroll it to get to everything. It's very funny to watch. The more streamers the better!
It's kind of like this: http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/surpriseball but HUGE.

This kind of runs with the idea of wrapping something a million times, but goes to the next level. First, wrap your present. Then, cover it in tape. Then wrap it again, then wrap it in duct tape. Then wrap it again. Put it in a box. Wrap it again... repeat.

Last yr I bought my brother the Left four Dead online game. I positioned it in a field and wrapped that field, then wrapped 3 different containers (special sizes/shapes) after filling the opposite containers with cardboard and newspaper. I numbered the containers (L4D was once in quantity three) and positioned all of them in a colossal field full of packing peanuts or newspaper, I are not able to take into account lol. Then I wrapped the colossal field and wrote at the external "There are 4 containers in right here, you need to open them so as." So he opened the primary 2 and discovered not anything however trash well-nigh, then earlier than he opened the 3rd, my boyfriend (after I informed him to) stated, "You comprehend it's within the final one, simply open that one!" So he opened the fourth one and discovered not anything! It was once relatively humorous and really memorable. This yr, I'm getting my boyfriend a quantity of presents. I positioned a cd in a PopTarts field with a number of cardstock in it. I positioned a jacket in a colossal field with 2 weights on the backside! I positioned a publication in a greater field, and wrapped an atypical formed kit right into a greater field, too. I'm striking a small object right into a relatively colossal field, then slicing a work of cardboard to suit the backside of the field, taping it over the object, then wrapping a number of InStyle magazines and striking it on best of the fake backside. So no longer simplest will he suppose it is plenty heavier than it's, however he will need to open a minimum of five magazines earlier than he will get to the truly gift! I'm additionally considering striking anything in a bag, then striking that during a field, too. (:

I have an idea, but someone's gonna have to help you with it. You need to get a HUGE box. I mean huge, like a person your size would fit inside. Then, you put in in your brother's room while he's away, and get inside. Get a friend to help you wrap the box, while you're in it with a cream pie. Then when he sees it, he'll start to open it. That's when you spring out and smack him in the face with the pie and yell "MERRY CHRISTMAS".
But if you dont' like your brother, put three angry cats inside of the box, rather than yourself. Boy, won't he be in for a christmas present.
