Creative wrapping.

I always wrap gifts creatively, switching around the boxes, adding paper or socks to a package, or throwing it into an odd container (small gifts sometimes go in toilet paper rolls. I like people to be like, hmmm, why am I getting this...and then yay! Plus it is more fun for me as well...

I really do not wrap items in several boxes to hide the true idenity of the gift. When I was a teen, I wanted a typewriter so badly. When Christmas morning arrived, I had a huge heavy gift. I was not allowed to open it until everyone else unwraped their gifts. I was so excited! I just knew I got my typewriter. When I opened it, it was not a typewriter. It was a rock and I cried and cried. So I would never wrap a gift like that.

My ex husband and I used to put a small present in a big box with a brick in the box and sometimes even wrap the brick up so they think that is the present and after they opened the brick then give them the proper present to open. Or for a birthday wrap the present up 18 times for example if they are 18, 4 times if they are 4. It's a lot of fun.

I used to get creative but the last few years I'm just glad to get them out the door and mailed on time! When overseas I would take plain paper and stick (glue dots or tape) foreign currency and the kids would get a kick out of it. Also now that we give so many gift cards I try to disguise them so you at least have something to open - say put a rock in a box with it or something that makes noises.

I love to do this. My husband thinks I'm off my rocker but he doesn't really care. I enjoy getting diffrent sized boxes or cans and wrapping them up and having a scavenger hunt. It's great. It's usually the last pressent and it's usually the best one.

wrapping of gifts creatively is very important as it makes it very precious and raises it's value to great extent .it's wrapping is the thing that raises excitment in one's heart about the gift inside. so always choose good gifts and wrap it properly

I just wrap them. I get creative to match the person opening the gift. If it's someone that takes forever to open a gift and saves the wrapping paper, I go for a gift bag. Takes only a few seconds to open, there's no tearing and I don't have to wait forever for them to open it up. I'm terrible at wrapping gifts anyway, so I might end up with more tape on there than I expected. So, it all depends on what happens and how good at wrapping I am at the time. I don't really go for all the creative wrapping, like small boxes in large boxes. I thought about it a lot when I was younger, like doing it to my mother, but I never did because I never could find any boxes. Now, I just don't care. I wrap it and give it,lol.

yes, it is fun to do that. i think my dad is the king of wrapping that way. he always puts in screws or whatever to make extra noises in the present! i wrapped a pair of socks for my daughter in a toilet paper roll this year!! lol

haha, I used to do this when i was younger, but not anymore. i guess it takes too much effort. but thanks for sharing, it sounds like you had fun. i still enjoy wrapping presents but not to really disguise them.

I used to do that years ago... I wrap a gift in many layers or sometimes i wrap an empty box. The look on people's faces after they open an empty box is just priceless.. Too bad I've finished wrapping all the presents this year before I read this. I would have played a major prank on my brothers if I got the idea before wrapping. Anyways... Hope you have a merry Christmas!

i love doing creative things i like to take white butcher paper or just plain white paper of any kind that will wrop the box and wrap it up in plain white and then draw and color on it to personalize the wrapping paper as well as the gift inside
