Christmas is an exciting time for kids and adults and part of the excitement is seeing the gifts under the tree, waiting to be opened Christmas morning.
The more colorful and attractively wrapped a gift is, the easier it is to build anticipation for unwrapping it.
Kids always migrate to the largest, brightest item under the tree, so if you want your gift to be the one they are most looking forward to opening, take some time to wrap the gift creatively.
There are plenty of ways to wrap even the most unusual of gifts.
You can request wax packaging to save money and find box sizes that are unusual or larger.
Seafood packaging and poultry boxes may need to be rinsed out and washed thoroughly, but the materials can really come in handy around the holiday season.
Another way to make things creative is to make the wrapping a part of the gift.
You can wrap a woman's gift in a shawl or scarf, covering the main part of the gift, but adding to it by supplying her with a colorful accessory.
The same can be done for larger items by using blankets to cover the gift that can be used for covering up later.
If you are giving someone an appliance for their new home for Christmas, cover it in throws that will complement the decor of their living space.
If a gift is large or oddly shaped and may be difficult to wrap with paper, consider using material to cover it.
You can usually purchase Christmas-themed material around the holiday and it can be easily molded to fit just about any shape.
Packing tape may work to keep the material secure around the item or you may want to use special fasteners meant for materials.
You can even sew a cover for the item if you are handy with a needle and thread.
Instead of wrapping a gift or putting it into a box, consider hiding it.
Some gifts are huge, so if you can place it in your home in a poorly traveled area, you can send the recipient on a scavenger hunt in search of their gift.
This works well with bikes, cars and larger appliances.
For an added touch, put a large bow on the item to announce it is indeed a gift.
You may need to recruit the help of other family members to keep the recipient away from the gift until it is time to surprise them.
Finally, for regular sized gifts, make sure you go all out with the wrapping and decorating.
Anyone can put a sheet of Christmas-themed paper on a box and call it a day.
Add bows, glitter and ribbons to really make your gift stand out from the others.
It can be expensive to adorn your gifts with all of these extras, so shop for the items after the holidays for deep discounts.
This way you will have everything you need next year to create brilliantly wrapped gifts for everyone you love.
Regardless of how many items are under the tree, everyone will be able to spot your gift from a mile away.
