Wrap the contents in three separate boxes, from biggest to smallest in yellow paper. Tie them together with yellow ribbon and top with red roses to create a beautiful tiered "wedding cake" (figure A).
Create a movie night in a basket. Place microwave popcorn, popcorn boxes, theater-style candy, videos or DVDs and a six-pack of soda in a large basket (figure B). Add some curly ribbon with popcorn hot glued on to finish it off.
Fill a jar with chocolate striped cookies (figure C)and marshmallows. Top with extendable skewers and a bow and you will have all the makings for s'mores.
A baby shower gift, such as a cute baby outfit, can be put on a small teddy bear and finished off with a bow (figure D).
Wrap a bridal shower gift in towels and finish off with some pins. The towels are then part of the gift. Use contrasting towels, one for the wrapping and one for the bow. Make a bow out of another towel threaded through a measuring cup set ring and attach with chip clips (figure E).
A beautiful box doesn't need to be wrapped. Just top with a bow and fill the box with cards (figure F).
Take two tall kitchen bags, cut off the ends and tie with decorative hair clips (figure G). This is great for when you are out of wrapping paper.
