I'll show you in steps how to wrap a Christmas gift. And just in case you don't know what to gift the person as a surprise, don't worry. I've shared five amazing Christmas gift experiences that will blow their minds.
Sounds good? Let's get to it.
Wrapping gifts is an art. But the good thing about this kind of art is it's easy to learn. You want to keep it simple and unique.
Step 1: Have your materials ready
You'll need certain things like wrapping paper, tape, ribbons, scissors, and gift tags. You can get all of these from any local store around you. Once you have them, you just need a table to work on.
Step 2: Measure the Gift Box
The gift you've purchased will come in a gift box. In fact, you should ensure it comes in a box when you're purchasing the gift. Measure the dimensions of the box and cut the wrapping paper to that size. I suggest leaving 2-4 inches on each side. This will help on the edges while you're wrapping.
Step 3: Wrap the Paper Around the Box
Put the gift box in the center of your wrapping paper. Fold the paper tightly over the top and bottom. Then, gently fold the sides.
Step 4: Tape the Edges
Everything should look neat and beautiful. So, you have to carefully tape the loose edges underneath the box.
Step 5: Finish with Decorations
Tie ribbon around the package and top with gift tags, bows, sprigs of holiday greenery, or other creative flourishes.
And just like that, you have a perfectly wrapped present.

If you still have questions about mastering gift wrapping, here are answers to some common queries:
Simply gather your materials, measure the gift box, wrap the paper around it, leaving excess, tape any loose edges or folds, and decorate the package with embellishments like ribbons or bows. Clear off a large, flat work surface and take your time for the best results!
Get creative with unique shapes like triangles, cylinders, or cones instead of boxes. Use colorful/patterned duct tape, cross-hatch ribbon, burlap, and jute fabrics for texture. Decorate with botanicals from outdoors or bake homemade gingerbread men/trees to attach. Add little notes with memories or inside jokes attached.
A beautifully wrapped gift shows extra care and excitement for the person receiving it! But if your wrapping skills aren't perfect, don't worry - the thought and gift itself truly matter most. Add a sweet handwritten card to offset any wrapping flaws.
