I am throwing a baby shower at the church tonight and I got diapers, wipes, and Balmex for the new baby (I prefer to give practical gifts)...but I'm already running behind with no time to wrap. I am currently in an office setting. How can I present this gift without it looking tacky?

Do you have or could you get a lazy susan or little turntable?? If you do you could take the diapers and roll them up and rubber band them and stack them on the turntable putting the Balmex and wipes in between. Usually this is done with more stuff though like toys and other baby things stuffed in between the diapers, but if thats all you have it'll do. My cousin did this for my baby shower and it was cool. If you don't have the turntable, try just rubberbanding everything together stuffing the wipes and balmex in between the diapers. Good luck!!

I've used colored Saran wrap, and it looks really cute. Any grocery store should carry it, and, since it sticks to itself so easily, you can wrap the gift in the car with no extra tape necessary.
If you need to stop at the grocery store, they might also have small laundry baskets. You could put the colored-Saran-wrapped gifts in a small laundry basket to add yet another useful gift.

Stack them up, tie them with rope or ribbon and make flower cut outs or baby item cutouts out of colored stock paper and tape them to your diaper/wipe/balmex tower. And at least print out a card ..

Can you pick up a gift bag from the grocery store on the way? Just use one of those if you have time to drop by the store they have them near the cards and stuff.

If you have time,stop and pick up a cheap baby bath tub and put the gifts in that. I got this for a gift at my shower and it was very helpful.

If you have any clear cellophane wrap you can just put the presents in the middle, bring up the sides, tie it on top with a pretty ribbon and vwaaalla!! :)

Well if you have receiving blanket to give... *lol*
Otherwise see if your mailing department has some brown paper and wrap them in that. Then on your way home pick up some rafia (is that what it's called, the straw kinda looking "ribbon") and you just have to tie it on.

Honestly, Swing by WalMart or Hallmark and pick up a gift bag. five bucks or so will get you a nice one, and it should come with tissue paper, or they'll gladly give you some for buying the bag.

Do you have a basket to put it all in? That would be cute. You could stop at a Deal's or Dollarstore and get an inexpensive sack. They have cute babyshower ones.
