shopping4my3son Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I have some sheets of paper to wrap. I have e-tickets I printed and a hotel confirmation. Other than just sticking it in an envelope what can I do? I really don't want to do the box inside a box since I'm the one who cleans up most of the mess.
Reinholt1 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Fold them into origami and place them on/in the tree??
Kanyon71 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Take the envelope put the things inside of it, take a large box and fill half way with some sort of packing material put the envelope in there, finish filling with the packing material then seal the box. Now wrap as normal. I've done this in the past to my wife
revecca Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 One guy at Walmart told us to buy tin foil in various colors, and wrap the gift in layers and layers. We did one gift just to try it out, and they love it! It was fun!
Bopeep Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm not sure where you can buy them, other than online, but they make those puzzles that you put money or gift cards or something inside. The recipient has to solve the puzzle to get to the prize. I bet you could get them at Ross, or Marshal's. Some place like that.
momlori Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I toyed with this idea earlier, use a thick book or magazine and hide the paper inside and put the book/mag in a bag or box
Princess7915 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 My aunt has given money in those puzzle things. The adult men got a kick out of it...frustrating for kids/teens. We have wrapped up gift certificates inside and envelope and then in a small shirt box with tissue like a regular gift.

The tickets are to the Robie House in Chicago. I've seen Frank Lloyd Wright books about that house and other architecture. Thanks
mcwalker Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I toyed with this idea earlier, use a thick book or magazine and hide the paper inside and put the book/mag in a bag or box Make sure there is something to tell them to look inside the book for the "surprise," otherwise they might not find the contents soon or ever.
momlori Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Make sure there is something to tell them to look inside the book for the "surprise," otherwise they might not find the contents soon or ever.I am hoping they look at me like I am crazy
shopping4my3son Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 I wrapped the papers and put them in the book with a bookmark, then wrapped the book. It's for my husband so I'll be there to tell him if he doesn't see it sticking out of the book. All of it goes together nicely too. The Robie House Lego set, the Robie House book, and the tickets to the Robie House are in the book along with the hotel reservations. 3
