Gift wrapping an ornament?

Ornaments typically come in boxes or you can locate one with little difficulty. Even a gift bag would work with lots of tissue for padding.

I always make my family ornaments.  You can buy non-painted ones and paint them yourselves or even do a type of paper mache' on a plain round ornament.  Your family will be sure to love them!  Hope this helped!!

Yes always bring a gift! That is the correct way.\n\nI always brought a food item to leave behind and a small gift.\n\nI often purchased several pretty "larger" fancy chrismas ornaments and put them in  "prewrapped in boxes" so if I needed a spare gift for the holidays there it is.  Put a note inside, wishing them happy holidays from the "blank" family.\n\nIf they are Jewish or do not celebrate Christmas, its a holiday party, then just bring food and a bottle of white wine,  That's safe!\n\nAlways be the "giver" and be prepared to have a wonderful time.!\n\nWe always had "canned food drives" at my Christmas Parties, so that we can give to others besides outselves.  I encourages them to bring their favorite food to share with us.

If you buy a gift, wrap it.  Girls like the anticipation of opening a wrapped gift.

Here's an idea, it's what my husband and I did:  At the reception, have small photo frames (I bought nice, but inexpensive ones at Christmas Tree Shop) with a piece of paper in them.  On the paper it said the guests name, table #, and meal choice.  We did this on the computer, so it would look professional. We looped some ribbon on to the back of the frame, so it can be used as a Christmas tree ornament.   When we sent thank-you's (they arrived shortly before Christmas) we enclosed a picture of us in the card.  This picture was the right size for the frame.  We used the computer to put our names, and wedding date on the photo.   Some people use it as a small frame/decoration,and some use it on their tree.   Everyone seemed to like it, at least it is something everlasting.

I think that they kits you can buy at Target or Wal-Mart where you can impring their hands or feet is alway nice. If you're the God mother a cross or crucifix for his room would be nice and a safe route to go, or to give in addition to one of these other gifts is a savings bond.  Try also getting a nice blanket embroidered with his name on it.

Be a true giver.  Do not place restriction/s on your gift.  I suggest you buy her a $600.00 piece of gold, like a thick necklace and leave it in the box in which it came and no gift wrap with the receipt inside the stapled store bag.  That is a gift which will be well received and you will have the real satisfaction of having truly given and if she is not fully satisfied with it then she may exchange it for purchasing another or whatever it is that she wants more.  That will please her more than words can say and you will have the satisfaction of having given a real gift without limits placed upon it.  A meaningful hug and kiss/es will add a thing to it.  Have a nice day.

This was what we did at my school for the faculty and staff members:\nFirst, we were asked to tell if we wanted to participate. The ones who did had their names written down on slips of paper and someone in charge came around with a basket  full of the names for us to pick our giftee. We were also given a list in the form of a little poem that told what kind of gift to give each day. \nFor 4 days before the party, we gave something sweet, something funny, something paper, and something red and green. Usually people left the gifts in the mailboxes in the workroom, but some would inconspicuously leave them on a doorknob or our desks, or in the little mailbox outside our rooms. We spent just a few dollars on each of these. Then on the party day, we met in the library, where a tree was set up. All the wrapped gifts, which were slightly "bigger" gifts, were placed under the tree. Someone then passed out all the gifts and the secret santa's name was either on the tag or inside the gift. It was so much fun! Especially trying to keep the person from finding out who their Santa was. \nMy Santa had a great idea and left me a short questionaire about my likes or sizes or whatever (what's your favorite restaurant? do you collect anything? favorite candy?) I'm going to do that this year......

One or two years ago I used buttons, glue, puff paint, etc. and decorated Christmas stockings for each member of my family. You can decorate it with a picture of something that they love, like music notes or a soccer ball. That way it's personalized and it works for any age or gender. Hope this helps

Wow, probably something that you can make...like handmade ornaments.  When you make it, that means it really comes from the heart!

Do you have a special talent? For instance, I bought a dozen plain colored christmas ornaments, a paint brush and a few paints, and painted things on the ornaments. Then I personalized them with the receivers name and the year. I started 17 years ago, now I run my own business. I never knew I could paint, I have never taken a class. Its worth a try. Do you have a service you could offer? Make up decorative cards and offer your services for free. Babysit, cook a meal, clean the house. Wax the car, etc. One year, my brother didn't have the extra cash, so he donated 5 hours of community service to each one of us siblings. For Me, he worked at a soup kitchen, my sister is big into animals, so he worked at the local shelter for 5 hours. I think he worked picking up trash for my other sister on the road she lived on because she was into the epa. Theres so much you can do with out money that means so much. Use your imagination. Most of all, have fun with it. You might find that the gift of your love and time is the best gift you will ever give, and the best gift someone can recieve!! Happy Holidays!!

make some lovely gingerbread and personalise them by choosing a different cutter for each person. put them in a box and wrap in brown parcel paper with some pretty ribbon. i'd love to get something like that if i knew someone was on a budget.

Sure, you can see the 'wrapping paper' and sorta tell what is inside ( joke, forward, serious email.. blahblah).  Slowly you move your mouse towards the email and WOW!  Just what you've ALWAYS wanted!! You've very own, very modern EMAILLLL Yip PEEEEEEE.   Yeah..  I may know what you're talkin about.  Been there done that.  Don't worry about bein normal or not.  Normal is so boring.
