Gift Wrap Galore



Three creative gift wrap ideas.

Snack-Time Birthday Wraps

This is just good, old-fashioned fun. Wrap each individual box in printed images of your favourite sandwich fixings for a gift that looks good enough to eat!

  1. Print your choice of sandwich fixings onto computer paper. Here are some of our favourites: bacon, bread, sesame bun, cheese, hamburger, lettuce and tomato. For bigger boxes, you may have to go to your local printer to get large-format sheets made.
  2. Wrap each box in a different ingredient.
  3. Stack wrapped gift boxes one on top of each other to create your made-to-order "sandwich"; secure with string. (Try not to take a bite on the way to the party!)

Crazy-Crayon Kids' Wrappers

These kid-friendly gift wrap ideas are perfect for the budding artiste: One comes complete with craft supplies, while the other is a work of art in itself!

hair dryer (Option 2)


  1. Glue crayons in a rainbow pattern around entire box.
  2. Place construction paper on top of box and secure it with a dot of hot glue.
  3. Use various crafting supplies to create a bow of sorts; keep it casual and loose.
  4. Alternatively, glue crayons, pointy-end down, side by side in a rainbow pattern around top of box. Heat crayons with hair dryer so that colourful wax drips down sides of box in a fantastic abstract pattern.

Formal Feminine Fabric Wrapping

This is a great alternative to paper gift wrap. Faux silk gives a simple gift box instant elegance!
