HAHA, passing on the torment you mean!

I always wrap some presents in overly large boxes just to throw my son off. It is fun for me too, watching him try to guess.

So I did a backfire on my dad. I sent him his present which was 2 gift cards to ---- and borders books. Well I put the GC in a box, in a box in a box in a box....so he is going to be opening each one going WTF???? Bah, I wish I lived within 2000miles of mom and dad to see his face. That really is an AWESOME wrapping job by the way. I usually scruntch the paper up around the gift and then just roll tape ALL over the top. Makes it hard to open I guess but wow I am TERRIBLE at wrapping gifts.

OMG that is to funny Jenny. I love passing on traditions to my kids now. One of my parents favorite one was to send us looking for our gifts, or giving us only part of the gift the night before and we had to wait until christmas day to get the rest...now that was always sooooo mean.

Girlina...this thread is kinda old, so that's why the old pics are not showing up, but last year she wrapped a skateboard I believe. It was hillarious...

Maybe she will post pics of what this year's "obvious gift" is.

[jennythebugg]

because of his vision my son has very little depth perception= crashes alot so this will be his first bike he had scooters before

the first gift i did that with was a red rocking chair for my oldest daughter i wish i had pics i just started taking pics of the 'suprise' gifts , it just kills them cause they know exactly what it is but can't play with it

when the girls were toddlers i tried to wrap a puppy at 6;00 just before i woke them but he kept walking out of the paper and wiggling too much so i don't recommend that one
DUH you have to wrap the the puppys legs in ribbons and bows first then role them in paper and use duct tape, everyone knows that, duh
