I cant decide ...

how mean to be

my OH wanted some art markers as part of his xmas present, there pretty much the size of a standard whiteboard marker ... and I have 9 of them

now do i

a) put them in a box as they are and wrap the box
b) wrap them individually and leave them loose
or ...
c) wrap them individually and put them in a box and then wrap the box.

or any other option?


p.s. time and effort isn't an issue, this is my dedicated wrapping day

Option a) 'put them in a box as they are and wrap the box'
would be my preferred choice

wrap them in paper, wrap them in christmas wrapping papper, put it in a box, wrap the box in chrisstmas paper mouwahahaha

Why not make 6 into a Chrstimas Star (unless it looks too much like a Star of David to you) wrap them up in bacofoil and attach to each other at the end (I did this with tubes of polos one year for someone with a horse).

The other three markers could be wrapped up as candles?

As above then put loads and loads of cellotape around it so there's no bits of paper to grab and rip !!!

Oh dat evil.

Mind you, one year, I bought my Dad a cassette of a band he liked (yes, a cassette...remember them). Wrapped it in Christmas paper, then again, and again and again and again....he went nuts...but it was very very funny

My brother opened one of his present one year and it was a bottle of head and shoulders in a box. he was like 'yeah dead funny' as my dad kept on a him to open it, he eventually gave in and it turned out to be a remote control for a tv and video that was hidden in my dads van
