Remember how your grandma always used to wrap gifts in newspaper, or worse, just put them in plastic bags? How unexciting, especially when you were a little kid! You could either see what was in the package before you opened it, or at best, you got to read the comics before tearing into your present. After that you vowed not to use newspapers or plastic bags. Unfortunately though, you hate wrapping gifts as much as your grandma did! Yet you still want to do something unique! Well, here are four creative gift-wrapping techniques that even a one-armed paper-hanger could wrap up successfully!

First, let’s tackle the old stand-by. That is, giving people money. This is a fine thing to do, and there is a way of presenting it that no one will forget. Hold the bills the short way, and make some accordion style folds in them. Be sure they can stand up by themselves. Next, put them in a card, using a piece of tape to close it. When the card is opened, the money will jump out with a surprise greeting all its own!
