Special Paper for Special Presents!


IF your like me every year you get your partner something special. Be it jewelry or sports tickets it is something that will make them do back flips after opening it. Well special presents deserve special wrapping paper. You can choose from a variety of types of paper but make sure it fits the person you are wrapping it for. So if your partner loves the smurfs find some smurf christmas paper and wrap only their special present inside it. By using only this paper to wrap their special present you will have no problem finding it on Christmas so that you can make them open it last. You can use this same trick on presents you want them to unwrap at certain times. Say for instance you got them some really nice sleep pants and want them to wear them Christmas Eve you could do the same thing. Plus by using paper that matches their personality it shows that you care that much more.

Stealth Wrapping


We all know that certain things come in a certain shape of box. For instance jewelry comes either in those cube style boxes or the long slender ones. DVD's and video game are a distinct box of their own. Even when we were kids we could tell a clothes box from the good stuff. Now if you want to mask your present to throw your partner off track, just mix up these boxes a little. For example if you purchase a necklace for your love grab an old DVD case off the shelf that no one will miss and tape the necklace inside the box. They will most likely guess you got them a new movie instead of the present that they will just adore. Another easy thing to do is to wrap your present inside a larger box. Say you got your love tickets to the next football game then wrap the tickets in a normal size box and then rewrap it in a much larger box. Don't be afraid to throw in sound effects either, things such as marbles, uncooked macaroni, or even rice help throw the person off the trail. Another thing you can do is chance the weight of the present but bricks or rocks inside to make it seem like something that would be heavy. If you object is to large to wrap say like a bike or a sofa a great way to put it into a present is to take a picture of the item and then use the above mentioned ideas to wrap up the picture, then have the item in the garage waiting. Surprise and anticipation is the key to having a wonderful Christmas morning so be sneaky, very very sneaky.
