My FIL likes Grand Marnier and I will get it once a year for him either for Father's Day, Bday or Holiday. I usually just buy red and white tissue paper and wrap it up, but I got so bored of wrapping it up the same way every year. I wanted to do something different. Well, my husband had gone to ship some presents off to Germany for me at the post office and he brought home 2 extra flat rate boxes for me. I was fiddling with them in my hands while finishing up a tv show and realized the thickness would be great to try to make a box for the liquor bottle. I spent 4 hours off and on trying to dress it up. I finally gave up on the lid part and just placed his X-mas card on top of it (as a lid) and tied a big red bow over it to hold it down. I used my favorite Christmas stamp set (Inkadinkado - Snowflakes) and punched out the "Happy Holidays" with my Large Oval punch to hold down the front of the ribbon, so it would look like a cummerbund.
