For example... if u got them a video game... but when u wrap it, its kinda obvious, so u put it in a giant box then wrap it.

or... if ure getting them a book, u use ur sisters twiliight books as a joke.

this season....

I got one of my sisters for secret santa and got her cookbooks and wrapped them then put them in a HRAP box.

I got one of my friends a Rivers jersey and wrapped it in an eagles jersey i wear when i play ball.

I got my friend hiking poles and they fit in a Guitar Hero 3 for (xbox 360) [ he has a ps3].

i got my other friend Mirrors edge and wrapped it in a chargers jersey and put it in a giant box.

anyone else do such wacky things?:)
 
this. ftw.

EDIT: for everyone who thinks the kid got the 360 from his family, wrong. Engadget actually sent this kid a 360 after feeling bad for him and the family confirmed that they didn't actually get a 360. the fucking family put that in the description as to not get flamed.

That really sucks. I would like to give that kid my 360 and kick his family in the ass a couple times for being heartless. :bomb:
 
At first I laughed at that video but then when you see the heartache set in....I felt bad and thought if they didnt come across with a 360 after the video shut off, Id imagine some shit going down.
 
If you read the video description, it was a sort of 'punishment' for peeking at his presents and he really did get the 360 later on. So it's OK.

My fiance did that to me last year- he got a 4 foot tall box full of bubble wrap, put a wrapped 360 arcade in the top, and when I opened the box there were 2 rocks inside. The system was underneath, buried in the bubblewrap, with each component wrapped seperately (right down to the controller batteries.) There was also a wireless adapter, 60 GB hard drive, and my spare controller that I bought and kept at his house for multiplayer games.

He let me open my birthday present early that year too. It was the power cable.

I suppose the worst one I did was getting my mom a rainbow garden spinner thingy and poking it inside an empty wrapping paper tube. She spend the weeks up to the holiday wondering why I got her a poster.

It wasn't wrapping, but I hinted my way into confusing the crap out of my fiance a couple years ago. "It's anime related, delicate, and your birthday present will be useless without it- but you won't need your birthday present to enjoy it." I got him animation cels from Hunter X Hunter (his favorite show). I got one framed for his birthday.
 
A few years ago when I got my brother a CD, I wrapped it in about 6 different boxes inside each other. Each one wrapped with wrapping paper and taped up pretty well so it wasn't easy to get through each one.
 
I've never done any Creative Wrapping, but I've had some done to me. Way back in the early GBA days my grandma got me a GBA game and wrapped in inside the box for her Mr. Sketch markers. When she got me a DS Phat when they were first out she put it at the bottom of a box of clothes.
 
As a kid we helped my dad wrap a gift for my mom. He bought her a ring and we started with a ring box and worked our way up to a refridgerator box. It was funny because we wrapped every box, and he did a good enough job that even the fridge was something she wanted at the time. Every box was something she would have been happy with. He was creative enough to factor in weights and stuff and put heavy items around so it was not obvious that the gift was tiny tiny.

I usually try to put it in boxes that are different shapes and sizes just to throw them off if it's something obvious.
 
LOL, I wouldn't mess with that kid, he already looks like he's in super saiyan mode and all that anger probably put his power level over 9000.

Never got crazy with disguises, but it's always fun to put the item in a box and wrap the box, then put that box in a bigger box and wrap that box, etc..
 
My mom bought my brother the Rockband bundle for his birthday and I wrapped each box separately so when he opened the huge box first he had no idea what the other 2 big boxes were for. And I also received some xmas money(dont remember how much) once inside of a hollowed out pencil, my face was kinda like that kid and his shock/dissapointment/mad face until the money fell out,lol.

I've done the box of clothes thing too, its really easy, the kids think they are just getting clothes, they don't even pick up the clothes to find the game, gift card or DVD underneath. Just make sure you don't let the joke go too long or that item might be thrown out or totally forgotten about.

If you don't put the item at the bottom of the box they will throw the clothes aside and not even look at them, so at least this forces them to look at the clothes.
 
[quote name='Ed_']I'm giving my gf a 32 inch tv and have no creative way to wrap it :([/QUOTE]

Don't- record a DVD of yourself saying some Chirstmas message. Get up early and set it up for her, then jack up the volume and play the DVD to wake her up. She'll come out to yell at you, see the recording on the TV, and be all excited.

(I realize that's probably too much work with 2 days to go.)
 
I've never done the wacky wrapping thing, but my family pulled a bit of a trick on me when I was a kid.

Being an only child, I got tons of shit for Christmas, but the one year my mom decided to wrap up this huge box that was deceptively light.

I shook the box before opening it. Then, I opened the box. There was crumpled up pages of newspaper in it. WTF!?!?!

So I start throwing the newspaper out of the box like I was possessed. I get to the bottom of the box and there's nothing left in it.

Again...I think 'wtf'.

So then mom is like 'check the newspaper'. So I start unraveling one piece after another. She had hidden $1 bills inside all of them. I think she gave me like $50-100 total in that box.

She couldn't stop laughing from me ripping apart this box and wondering where the present was. As you can tell, it's a moment from Christmas that I still remember vividly to this day.

Over 9000?!?! :hot:

Putting the real gift underneath some clothes is probably the best way since no one likes to get clothes on xmas.
 
This year, one of my GF's small gifts is a blu-ray she's been wanting. After some creative modding, I managed to hollow out a standard size DVD case just enough for a BD case to fit. As for the cover of the fake case, it's cover art for a gay porno, with her a'hole ex-husband's face photoshopped over one of the "actors." The only thing missing is the shrink wrap, but that's a minor detail.

This should provide some huge laughs tomorrow morning. :D
 
my girlfriend is always snooping for her gifts, so i decided to put an end to that his year. i just hope it passes in time so i can give it to her!
 
Me and my sister started a little friendly xmas present battle. First she put a gift card in a dvd player box that was wrapped several times with packing tape. I uped the ante the next xmas where I put her barnes n noble gift card in between two brick door stops and wrapped them in an entire roll of duct tape then wrapped this. The next year she put my gift in a box and inside the box was a poxy mold that was supposed to harden. It did somewhat but when I opened the box it was still somewhat gooey which made for a mess. The following xmas I put her on a scavenger hunt for her gift. After that we had a truce but I might do something again next year since she broke her "not buying" rule this year.
 
I once bought a bunch of gba games for a friend for Christmas and as a joke, there mother had told me to get them a plant to spruce up the room.

So I, being an evil genius, bought them a Palm tree and I put the GBA games in a plastic air tight container in the pot...
I brought the Palm tree over and my friend was crushed, as we had actually gone to the mall earlier that week to check out GBA games at a little Mom and Pops place.

I helped them put the tree in their room and stuck around a couple of hours and right before I left I "tripped" and knocked it over revealing the surprise.

The mom gave me an awesome high five.
 
My friend helped me wrapped all my gifts this year, including hers. So she knew exactly what she was going to get, or so she thought. The moment she left my house, I sneakily opened up her present as discreetly as possible and threw more stuff in to accompany her original gift, then I wrapped it back up exactly the way it was before.

Come Christmas day, she rolled her eyes when I gave her her gift because she thought she knew exactly what was in it. She opened it up with no enthusiasm, looked inside, looked at me, looked back in the box, her jaw dropped, and she just smiled.
 
My nephew who was about 6 at the time, really wanted a new bike for Christmas. So I thought it would be amusing to put a little toy bike with a little bow on it outside.

Come Christmas morning, we tell him "Oh you have one more gift, but it's outside." He ran out as fast as he could, looks at the toy bike and then looks back at us with a tear in his eye. The look on his face was priceless, and well worth the effort.

Of course, we rolled out the real deal from the other room afterward.
