1. Use a scarf. This is a fantastic idea for that special woman in your life, whether she is your wife, girlfriend or mother. Scarves never go out of fashion. They can be cheap cotton or expensive silk. Most are actually quite beautiful. The next best thing is that they get to keep the scarf as well!

2. Use a tea towel. This can be great for relatives living overseas, grandma, or that favorite old aunt. Fold it around the gift and tie in place with a ribbon.

3. Get a cool t-shirt. This really is a neat idea for kids. Again just fold around the gift and tie with a ribbon.

4. Use a flier. If you want to give them a hint about another gift yet to come use a flier. This is the perfect gift-wrap. The flier or brochure could that show you’ve got tickets for a ballet, NFL game, Broadway play, etc. You will have blast watching the intrigue in their eyes as they open it up. Hide the tickets inside the gift or with the card to keep the suspense going.

5. All ladies love a nice and trendy handbag or purse. The small cotton purses are ideal as they can be fairly cheap but are flexible enough to put a range of gifts inside. Just make sure your main gift can fit inside before you buy it. At first they’ll think you didn’t bother wrapping at all, until they look inside

6. Use a ball box. This is a quirky idea for the boys. Get a cheap hollow ball. With a sharp blade cut it in half, punch some holes around the edges and use wire or string to tie the pieces back together again once you’ve placed that small special gift inside. Just don’t use his favorite cricket or tennis ball. It might take a while for him to appreciate all your effort.

7. Use a Paper Mache or Balsa wood box. For those of you who are more creative you can pick these up in a variety of shapes and sizes. Another great point is that are cheap. Give them a coat of paint, stick on some beads, etc and you have a unique beautiful keepsake that becomes a special gift within itself.

8. Use a cool belt or tie. This would be a unique way to hold the wrapping on that gift in place use a tie or belt. Even a bow tie would look fantastic. Then he can wear it later.

9. Chains or necklaces make great gift-wrappings. They are another beautiful, unique way to finish off your wrapping. This again can be as cheap or expensive as you can afford. Wrap it around and clasp into place. Ladies especially will love this.

10. Be creative and make your own paper. Here’s an idea if you are a traditionalist and like wrapping with paper. Rather than just painting brown paper you can make something more special. Lay a sheet of waxed lunch wrap on an ironing board. Sprinkle with flower petals, leaves or confetti. Anything that will lay flat and is colorful and unique will work well. Lay another piece of waxed paper over the top. Cover with a thick cloth and press with a hot iron. The heat will melt the wax and bond the sheets together. Now, you are all done.
