My in-laws are very sneaky wrappers. Just when you think you have unwrapped your present and found a box of photo coasters, you still need to look farther. My sister-in-law forgot and almost missed out on some cash and postage stamps that were wrapped around the coasters.
It can be a lot of fun just opening the present. I found a present from my husband in my work bag. I had to unwrap about 5 layers of wrapping just to get to the M&Ms inside a jar. Sometimes you have to hunt through a box of tissue paper and bags to find a special treasure inside.
My two favorites are ones from my husband. He put my wedding band inside a tiny bag and slipped it into a bag of M&Ms. Then taped the bag up. When I opened the bag to enjoy, out popped the ring!
The other favorite is when we bought real casino chips for his mom. He stacked them, put two fake poker chips on each end of the stack and wrapped them tightly in saran wrap. It looked like a new roll of store-bought poker chips. She was completely fooled.
Sometimes, the present doesn't have to be "the best ever," put some thought into how it is wrapped and the mediocre present can be the one they talk about most.
Be creative!
