How can I disguise this present?

I need to wrap a lightsaber up but it is going to be really obvious what it is, I can't think of how to disguise it though? Perhaps I could wrap something else up with it? Not really sure so if anyone has any bright ideas, that would be wonderful!
Thanks

What age is the person it is for? It would help with ideas of what to wrap with it or make it look like.£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4

How about wrapping it in one layer of paper, cutting out the individual sections from egg boxes and gluing them to the paper, then wrapping again? Or instead of egg-boxes, just wads of scrunched-up newspaper in between layers.some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it0

It's for an adult. I did think about adding newspaper to it but unless I add loads it will still be a longish shape and I think it will give it away. I know it isn't a huge deal, I just wanted to make it a surprise if I could.Slimming World - 3 stone 8 1/2lbs in 7 months and now at target :j0

i would put it in a box too and stick it down if possible, I would also put something heavey like some books in (providing its a person who you can ask for them back!) so it makes it heavy and is less likely for people to guess that the box is just a disguiseBest wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card

Put a box on the bottom and make a round shape on the top with scrunched up newspapers so it looks like a lamp.0
