How It's Possible To Get Over The Tough To Wrap Christmas Presents

By Conor Daniels


"The excellence of a present lies in its appropriateness instead of in its value." - Charles Dudley Warner

You have found the perfect present, one completely applicable for the recipient. But now you've noticed that this present also actually is the impossible-to-wrap present.

Perhaps the present is oddly shaped and won't slot in a box. Maybe the present is digital and doesn't have a physical form. Or perhaps the present is too big and can't fit thru your door. Here are ideas about how it's possible for you to easily "wrap" even the most most unlikely gift.

Oddly Shaped Gifts

Some gifts just weren't intended to be wrapped. Try one of these ideas to get that oddly shaped present properly covered.

- Present bags are a good way to wrap an oddly shaped gift. Just place the present in the bag and cover with brightly colored tissue paper.

- Put an enormous sheet of wrapping paper on the floor, design side down. Place the present in the middle, and pull the 4 corners of the paper up and toward the middle. Close the top by tying the corners with a festive ribbon.

Gifts Without a Physical Form

Our modern computer age has brought a totally new challenge to wrapping gifts, those gifts like ebooks, downloaded software, or downloaded music. These ideas will turn your digital present into something that can still go under the tree.

- Burn the files for the digital gift onto a CD. Or, get a thumb drive or memory stick and copy the digital files onto the memory gizmo.

- Print the download instructions for the digital gift. Then purchase (or make) a Christmas card and include the outlined instructions inside the card.

Gifts Too Big to Fit Under a Tree

For giant gifts you must find a "safe" hiding place. Some merchants might allow you to store the present at their store until just before Christmas. Or, perhaps your garage or a storage shed can server as a good hiding spot. You could even think about employing a neighbor's garage (and getting your neighbor's authorization first is maybe a brilliant idea).

With the gift in a safe spot you can still "wrap" the present and put it under the tree with one of these ideas.

- Utilise a Christmas card (or make one either manually or using your personal computer) and announce the gift inside the card.

- Wrap a small item to represent the gift and put it under the tree. Try to choose an item that hints at what the present is without immediately uncloaking the secret. For example, you might utilize a bike tire pump to represent a new bike, an automobile owner's manual to represent a new car (I think most of us won't be giving a present this big), or a place key to represent a new house (this one requires some possession of large wealth).

So do not let the impossibility of wrapping a gift keep you from picking the present that is most appropriate for your loved one. Use one of those fun concepts to get that present "wrapped" and "under the tree. ".
