30 Times People Wrapped Gifts In The Most Original And Fun Ways
When it comes to gift giving, it’s usually the thought that counts. But when it comes to giving Christmas presents, presentation is definitely on the scorecard. Gorgeous, glittery wrapping paper, a perfectly curled bow, a “to and from” tag that you sneakily sign “Santa Claus”, and perhaps a box of chocolate or tea attached to the outside as a teaser for what else is in store.
I have always loved the art of gift wrapping. There’s something about going the extra mile and delivering a gift from the heart in spectacular wrapping that makes the present feel even more special. And as with anything else in life, gift wrapping can be taken to the next level with just a pinch of creativity.
Below, you'll find a list of some of the most creative and fabulously wrapped gifts to inspire you to channel your very own Christmas elf this December, as well as an interview with gift-wrapping expert and the woman behind Tinseltown Gift Wrapping, Annabelle Borke. Be sure to upvote the presents you find too beautiful to even open, and let us know in the comments if you have any out of the box tips for how you like to present a present. Then, if you’d like to check out another Bored Panda article featuring cleverly wrapped and presented holiday gifts, you can find more here and here!

I don't ever do the interesting shapes when I wrap gift but I like to use boxes... so someone removes the wrapping paper and I say "I got you a box of tampons, hope you like it!" and then they open the tampon box and get a not-tampons gift inside.

My dad decided to work one year, so for Christmas he got Mom cooking supplies. Every single measuring spoon, cup, etc. was individually wrapped. Then all put in a box that once housed a stove. Mom thought she'd gotten a new stove. To say she was "unamused" is by far the nicest way to explain her reaction. Never did that to anyone again.

Giving people things to complete house hold chores is a bad present unless that items is requested.

Tradition in my family is to wrap a gift as hard to open as possible. My uncle apparently had been sending anonymous letters to my aunt for months with clues to open it. The wrapping included: wood, cling wrap, duct tape, CHAINS, a lock, cardboard, chainmail, etc. it took her over half an hour to unwrap
