Who doesn’t love giving gifts? No matter the occasion, it’s a joyful tradition for everyone involved.
Wrapping a gift, on the other hand, can be a totally different story for many. It can be a challenge to capture the elegant looks created by professionals. But you also don’t want a sloppy or overly generic presentation.
You want to wrap a gift with flair and style, so let your creativity shine. It doesn’t matter if your goal is to amuse the recipient, or you want to make a statement at the party. Funny gift wrapping will surely bring plenty of laughter to the celebration.
Why Wrap Gifts in a Funny Way?
Sure, plain wrapping paper can get the job done… but where’s the fun in that?
When you add an element of humor to your gift presentation, you accomplish a few things, including:
- Create a memorable moment: Funny gift wrap can transform the unwrapping process into an entire event. Instead of quickly tearing open the paper, gift recipients can take their time and enjoy the moment. There will be plenty of chances to snap photos and share laughter.
- Build anticipation: When wrapping only hints at humor, the excitement grows as the recipient and everyone else waits for what comes next. The prize inside is less important than the journey to uncover it.
- Shows thoughtfulness: Let’s face it: Humor takes effort. The extra attention you pay toward funny gift wrap only shows that you went above and beyond the usual to create a more personalized experience.
- Brings people together: Funny gifts are also conversation starters. The whole group will gather around the recipient just to witness the reveal and share in all the fun.
10 Funny Ways to Wrap a Gift
Why settle for ordinary gift wrap when you can create an extraordinary experience?
With just a little creativity, you can turn the unwrapping process into the highlight of every celebration.
The ways to add humor and excitement to your gift presentation are truly endless. They are only limited by your own imagination. Choose options like laugh-out-loud disguises or over-the-top designs to make every gift unforgettable.
Use these 10 funny gift wrap ideas as a springboard to creating a perfectly hilarious present.
1. The Never-Ending Box
Remember classic nesting dolls? The ones that are in multiple sizes stacked inside each other? Well, you can create a gift-opening marathon by nesting your present into multiple layers of boxes.
Start with a tiny gift like a Safari Ltd. Good Luck Minis figurine. Place it in the smallest box, then place that box into the next size larger, into the next size larger, and so on.
Make sure the progressively larger boxes are each meticulously wrapped. The surprise at the end will be worth the wait.
2. The Puzzle Box Challenge
Send your gift recipient on an escape room-style adventure by wrapping their present in a puzzle box. You’ll turn any ordinary gift into a brain teaser when it’s hidden in the box.
Safari Ltd.’s TOOBs collection is an example of an excellent prize that can be buried within the puzzle. It’s an excellent award for whoever is able to crack the code – a mental workout with elements of humor, too.
3. The Mummy Wrap
Wrap your gift like a mummy and unleash your recipient’s inner archaeologist. Perfect for Halloween, the funny wrapping option uses endless rolls of toilet paper or gauze. You score bonus points if you include a Safari Ltd. dinosaur figurine. It will add an extra touch of theme-appropriate hilarity.
4. The Duct Tape Fortress
Want to drive an impatient gift recipient mad with anticipation? Make the unwrapping process a true test of endurance when you surround the gift box with scads of duct tape. Have a handy-dandy tool kit on hand just in case the gift stays sealed shut.
5. The Foodie Fake-Out
Want to trick your gift recipient – or at least confuse their taste buds? Disguise your gift as a box of food. Start by slipping a set of Safari Ltd. TOOBs animals into an empty cereal box, then reseal it. Your friend or loved one will be wondering why their cereal jingles until the big reveal.
6. The Balloon Bonanza
For a truly unique gift wrap experience, just use a balloon. Place a tiny gift inside a balloon, then inflate it and watch as the hilarity ensues. They’ll have to burst the balloon to get to the gift. You can add some extra flair when you put confetti or glitter inside the balloon. The result is an unforgettable explosion of fun.
7. The Upside-Down World
How about an upside-down gift wrap? Try using clear wrapping paper to show off a small or joke item, then tape the “real” gift card to the back. Safari’s detailed figurines look extremely cool when they’re displayed in backward wrap.
8. The Fridge Wrap
Want to really throw your friends and loved ones for a loop? Try a fridge wrap job. Find an old appliance box – like the kind that holds a refrigerator – and place your gift inside – no matter how much smaller it might be.
Your recipient will be absolutely bewildered when they see the large package. They’ll be even more shocked to discover it holds something so tiny like one of Safari’s Good Luck Minis.
9. The Newspaper Surprise
Do an old school-style gift wrap that’s also more sustainable than buying new paper. Wrap your gift in newspaper. It can make for a hilarious presentation when you choose funny headlines or comics. Your gift recipient will be entertained even before they open their present. Pair newspaper wrapping with educational toys for a gift that’s both funny and meaningful.
10. The Over-the-Top Bow
Funny gift wrap can be so simple. As simple as adding a ridiculously large bow. You can buy one, or you can make your own out of recycled ribbons, streamers, or even craft paper. Remember, the bigger the better!
The right bow is so big it could be mistaken for a gift in its own right. Just don’t let the actual gift get lost somewhere underneath.
