Gift bags make it easy to wrap any package you may have. They come in a variety of sizes, themes, colors and even shapes. You can find them at practically any store that sells gift items or you can purchase personalized ones online. You can make them into goodies bags for parties or just put that hard to wrap gift item in them. They have a range of great uses and designs. You can make it unique to the person receiving the gift as well. Many like to save the bags they are given as well. You can tie bows to them, attach ribbons or decorate them anyway you like. There are even options of getting plain bags and decorating them yourself. These are very nice keepsakes too.
Wrapping Paper
Traditionally gifts are wrapped in a pretty paper. This can be for holiday gifts, birthdays, anniversaries and much more. The papers are similar to the bags but you have to insure the paper is secure. It can be hard to wrap certain packages with papers and that is where the bags come in. You can also choose paper that matches themes of parties such as superheroes for children. There is endless options on paper just as with the bags.
Gift Boxes Work Great
Another great option for wrapping gifts is using gift boxes. These can be plain boxes and you can add paper or you can get decorated boxes. Some boxes give you the opportunity to tape it together, slap on a bow and you're ready to go. These can be small or large depending on the size you need for gifts.
Gift boxes are great choices for wrapping items like clothing, scarves and gloves in. Those items are typically harder to wrap in paper. You can be as elaborate or as simple as you like with these boxes as well.
Brown Paper or White Paper

One unique idea is to wrap the present in paper you decorated yourself. You can take some white or brown paper and decorate it. You could also include your children on this project too. It's a great idea for them to give gifts to their friends. By decorating the paper you make it unique to you and your friend or family member getting the gift. This can be a fun art project to work on together.
Add a beautiful bow that you created from ribbon or that you purchased. All of these are great options to wrap your gifts. They can be as unique as you want or as simple and traditional.
