Wrapping a large sized wedding gift??

Question

I have bought a toaster oven as a wedding gift for my friend's son. But how should I wrap it? The box is quite big, and I don't have wrapping paper that will cover the entire box. What other alternatives should I use? Other ideas?

Answer 1

They make Bags.

Like gift bags for large gifts.

My bed came in one.

I'm not sure where to get them but i would say you can get them from places like craft stores and such.

But they come in plain colors and holiday/event stuff.

Answer 2

wrap it in a black and white newspaper and just tie a cute colored bow on it.  (Red or Lime Green, somthing fun)

Answer 3

Buy a tablecloth that could be used on other occasions, it's a great way to wrap larger kitchen items, and serves other purposes!

Answer 4

But an inexpensive tablecloth and wrap it in that.

Or just buy more wrapping paper and piece it together.

Answer 5

Good lord, go buy a $5 roll of wrapping paper.

If you have to wrap one half of the box at a time because it is so big, use a large ribbon to cover the seam and put a big bow on top.

Answer 6

There are a few things you can do. Look for oversized wrapping paper. Wrap it with several pieces, harder to make it look nice but it would be covered. Buy a big plain box from the post office and then decorate it with stickers and anything else you want to use. I like the sheet idea too, even if they didn't register. Just get a neutral color (cream/beige) because everyone could use a spare set of sheets even if they aren't the prettiest. I think newspaper woul look a bit tacky, and you could just as easily use solid colored wrapping paper in several pieces.

Answer 7

If you are willing to spend a little more, maybe you can see if he has a set of sheets on his registry and buy them and wrap the present and the rest of the sheets in it.
