Pretty on the Outside: Unique Ways to Wrap Gifts - a list by tatorandtots

Options for This Page

About this list:

Traditional wrapping paper is fine. But it serves to disguise, not entertain. Presents often spend weeks poking out from under the tree- why not make them tease and taunt while they're waiting? Attach novelties like fake mustaches, funky stickers, notepads or printed-up folding paper toys, use great cards, give jewelry (and a loupe!) tucked into the cardboard in a roll of designer toilet paper, try garland not ribbon, roll a tie into a Troll glass and use boxes that will serve a purpose later!

The TO DO -TATTOO

16 people recommended this item

Description

I confess to being a scrapper... ie I am constantly jotting things down on little scraps of paper that I then promptly lose. All because I'm too lazy to hit a few buttons on my Blackberry.

Thus, while my first reaction to these was to simply smile, a few moments later I started to realize I am actually enough of a doofus (sorry to throw in the highly technical jargon there) to need these.

PRO THUMB WRESTLING

Description

I own two of these. That's how much use they get at parties. There have been actual LINES that have formed to play. I know, I was a little shocked and disturbed too....

Great price for anything from an office party or hostess gift to a back-seat-child-entertainment system.
