SKINT - wedding to go too on sat - Now advice on wrapping odd shaped pressie

Only thing I can think of is to get a strong cardboard box (large) from supermarket. Measure a square which will surround the vase, and cut the box down to make a smaller box (score the folds with the back of an eating knife before folding). You could paint the result (matt black would be good) if you can be bothered, or just bung filling in (bubblewrap and paper shreddings brought home from work) .... plus ideally to keep the respect of bride and groom, remember to put the vase in

Then wrap in expensive paper..........:T

Get one of them little stick on stars thingies and stick to it and attach your label to that - looks dead posh

They are dead good... I like the box thing... May wrap it in brown paper and fancy string, with a fancy lable or does that sound pap

I like the look of parcels wrapped simply in brown paper with some funky string (some thick cord looks good). I think it sort of implies 'This is a really good present so I don't need to try too hard with the wrapping' lol.

Brilliant Idea. Must remember this for future.
