It's a Wrap: Wrapping Romantic Gifts

© Michael Webb

Once you have bought a gift for your sweetheart, the biggest dilemma is yet ahead: how to wrap it? I am the first to admit that I don't relish having to wrap gifts. Whenever my wife and I buy presents for friends and family, I ask her to do the wrapping honors.

This is not a step-by-step guide on how to wrap a gift - you wouldn't want directions from me anyway - I am simply giving you some suggestions of unique materials to use to do the wrapping. A creative choice of paper makes up for a sloppy wrapping job.

A large piece from a brown paper bag (instead of taping it closed use the sealing wax and sealer that you bought her for her writing box)
Pages from the Victoria's Secret catalog (good for wrapping lingerie)
Old wall calendar (for watches/clocks)
Travel posters (ask a travel agent)
The Sunday Comics
A personalized picture or artwork created on your computer
White butcher paper personally decorated with crayons
Colored plastic wrap
Greatly enlarged photocopy of a photograph
Pages of your children's artwork
Vintage movie posters
