0 Random gift wrapping idea - Christmas

You've seen holographic holiday paper where, printed on the front is in all different colors, and then sparkly trees, stars or whatnot shines through from the holographic under the colors. Yeah, that stuff. I limited myself on using different wrapping paper on some gifts for Christmas one year.

I didn't want to have 5 gifts in red wrapping paper and 5 more in all blue. To use up what all I had left so I wouldn't have any left overs, I flipped over the holographic paper and just used the sparkly side as a new gift wrap design. This works great if you have girls in your family, and you want to make their gifts look sparkly, pretty and girly. It's also cheep too! I found my holographic paper at a dollar store (for $1 dalla). :D

0 Funny present trick for a kid

This is a cute idea that popped in my head right out of nowhere one day. It came to mind for my youngest sisters birthday. I thought, what would be cruel but funny all at the same time... Make her think she's not getting a present, when really she is getting one. LOL!

So, I had a rock I found somewhere and I painted a happy face on this rock. I took a tissue box that finally ran out of tissues, and cut the top of it off, so I could roll her clothing up to fit inside the tissue box. I placed the clothes down in the gift bag first, then put the open part of the tissue box face down, over the clothes to give the illusion that it was the bottom of the bag. Then I placed Mr. Rock at the bottom, and put tissue paper on top. When she opens the gift, she'll only see a happy rock smiling away at her.

Tada! A sure fine way to giving a cute gift made with love, that looks to be nothing at all! LOL! :D But my youngest sister was about 12 when I pulled this prank on her, so she knew there was going to be more, she just had to look for it. Any younger, they would probably take the rock and play with it thinking that truly was all, or they would probably cry. :/ Either way, Enjoy! :D
