Answer 1

I don't know of any sites, but I'll give you some ways I wrap gifts.
1.) Never use wrapping paper specifically for the occasion. ( such as wedding paper with bells on it. ) I wrap the gift in plain silver paper and tie it up with the widest white ribbon I can get.
2.) Baby showers: Use aqua paper and wide yellow ribbon.
3.) Birthday: Use a primary color, such as red. Attach another primary color bow to the package. A colorful stripped ribbon is always fun.
4.) The 25th and 50th anniversary: I use white paper, appropriate color bow. All over the package I make stickers of the number needed and attach them all over the package.
5.) Christmas: If many small gifts are being given, such as to a child, I'll attach them together in such a way that they form a train engine. Santa's face: Wrap the box in solid colored paper.Use contrasting colored paper for the hat where needed. Cut facial features from construction paper and glue on.Make the beard from small pieces of white yarn, rolled into small circles, then glued in place. The beard can be made in many other ways, using white constrution paper, fringing some, scalloping others.
I've gone on too long. The best advice I can give is to use the widest ribbon you can for the package, and make a spectacular bow. Look for a web site on bow making and pratice until you make the best. You could even get one of thos Bow-Dabra bowmaker things to use until you become more skilled.
