Large gifts- Wrap or present with bow?

I have a LARGE box for DH...some tool chest he wanted.

The fun of it all is unwrapping the gift but, I can see it now...about 3 rolls of wrapping paper and lots of tape!!!

Maybe I will just pull it out with a big bow?

what do you do?

I usually get a plastic tablecloth at Party City and use that to wrap with.

What about one of those large gift bags? You know the ones that are like a decorated garbage bag? Chat Icon
At least he will have the effect of "opening" it!!! Chat Icon

Some places sell big plastic bags big enough for like bikes. Maybe that would be easier then wrapping it.

You could put it against a wall and just wrap what is showing. I did that when we got my Dad an LCD TV. I just wrapped the top sides and front! Chat Icon

Does your DH know that you got him that? If not, i'd wrap it!

I got DH a surround sound system last year and the box was HUGE! It took a lot of wrapping paper, but i'm glad I wrapped it b/c it was so fun seeing him open it. He had no idea what it was.

That was me last night. Wrapped the tv I got DH, tons of paper and tape! I like the suggestion to only wrap what will be seen, this way not too much hassle for you and he still gets to unwrap something.
