Funny ways to wrap a Christmas present?

Question

My family is having their Christmas celebration next weekend and I’m looking for good ideas on how I can wrap my presents. For example: one year I wrapped the box in duct tape, and then wrapped it with reg. Christmas paper. Then, another time I filled the box with that expandable crack sealer that turns hard after it dries so they had to dig through all that crap to get to their gift! Any other ideas?

Answer 1

One time the gift was money, and we wrapped an empty box with real $20 bills, attached with removable tape.

Answer 2

If the gift is small, use a huge box with those plastic peanuts or confetti. They would basically have to empty the entire box to get to the present.

Or wrap the present over and over again in bubble wrap.

What about gluing macaroni to the box? Or wrapping it in something edible.

The small present wrapped in several different boxes is over-rated and not very original.

Well, this year I took one of those soda/beer/wine cooler six cartons (Polar Classic Root Beer to be precise), cut out the center divider, then cut the divider in half and used in to make a roof. The carton already had a house shape to it, so I added a little duct tape to strengthen things, placed in the gift, the added the sides of the roof and wrapped it so it literaly looked like a little house.

In a previous year, not having an tissue paper, newspaper, or packing material, I used TP in one present and the leftover TP tubes in another to keep presents from rattling around.

I always wrap presents in the Sunday Funnies from the local newspaper. It can be funny, but it also is colorful, and helps to 'recycle' that old newspaper. The recipient can always read the funnies, and get a laugh from them afterwards too.

And it doesn't matter what the occasion is either. Funnies are good gift wrap for any time, and any thing. I have been doing this for many, many years now, and people always comment on my unique wrapping paper!

Well, I have a cottonball... phobia. I freak out whenever i touch one (shudders thinking about it) so people think its REALLY funny to put my gifts in boxes of cottonballs.

You could put a smaller gift into a box, wrap it, put that into another box, wrap it and so on until you dont feel like doing it anymore. but make sure you use something as a space filler so it wont shake around and give it away!

I've done the duct tape one a few times, and i like the crack sealer idea, thats funny too.

It may not be funny to the recipient at the moment, but it sure is funny as hell to everyone watching. Then it becomes funny in a few days. Im sure everyone gets a kick out of me freaking out over the cottonballs year after year. (i now just expect a cottonball-filled box every year)

Answer 6

Use a piñata shaped in a weird shape, cut out a hole and put the present in it, then wrap it. Person will wonder what the heck is shaped like that.
Aluminum foil with colored Saran wrap bow
If it's a small present, wrap it in a hunting sock, one of the gray and neon orange ones.

Answer 7

will can put the item in 5 empt boxes and the last one will be the gift or wrap it with tissues

Answer 8

if u have something really small, put it in a small box, then a bigger one, then a bigger one and then a bigger one and then a huge one and in one of the boxes u put something like a brick or a cinder block now that is funny because the person thinks they are getting something huge because it is in a big box and it weighs a lot

Answer 9

The box in a box thing Melissa suggested is great. My dad did that for a ring he gave my mom (the outer box was HUGE!). She got a total kick out of it.

Answer 10

Aggg! Funny does NOT mean difficult to unwrap!

Use your imagination!
