Gift Wrapping Help

[bigcheryl]

Does anyone have a cleaver way to wrap socks? I have 3 teen boys Nike socks to wrap. I was thinking clear pails but boys don't do ribbon. Then I thought about clear cups from Mcdonalds or Starbucks....but I don't know if they will give me the cups....I'm in crunch mode....Help!

I'll bet they will give you a cup if you offer up 25 cents which seems reasonable. Ask for free first though. Go for triple cupping--LOL.

I give my brothers socks every year. And I stuff them into a wrapping paper tube (tube socks, you know). Wrap up the tube and you are ready to go!

(I have cut the wrapping paper tube down to the length I need for the # of socks)

We have divided the socks and put one in one box with a few marbles or something that will make it rattle, and the other sock in another box usually a different size than the first one. We have done this with many gifts that come in pairs, it makes Christmas morning and gift opening fun.

Here's an idea that goes along with Indy_Patti's idea:

I've put socks in the paper mache wine tubes.

Yep, the old tube wrap! I use wrapping paper tubes and paper towel tubes for the little kids!
