Wrapping a HUGE present

suejb2

Hi everyone would appreciate your ideas for this."Father Christmas" is bringing a huge teddy bear for my D.D, by huge I measured it at almost 5ft! How can "he" wrap it? Cellophane wouldn't work as she would see it through and a duvet is priving too expensive.You wonderous and inspiring ideas would be greatly appreciated. Seasons wishings to you all :xmassmile

Bargain roll of wallpaper from a DIY shop end of batch sell-off??? Or, do you know anyone taking delivery of a fridge-freezer in the next few weeks that you could use their packing carton?

Maybe a big Xmas tablecloth (or 2)?

pop along to pound shop and see if they have any large santa sacks, perhaps would fit in two ?

I like the idea of a table cloth. Could you not get paper one from your pound store for example? With any luck - you may find one in red or something!

Would any of your local toy or electrical shops be able to give you a big box to put him in?? I know my local toy shop has loads of boxes that tractors/jeeps etc had been delivered in. Or I like the above posters idea of Christmas tablecloths

What about a christmas pudding bin bag - downside is you have to buy a roll of 12 for £5

Should be easy enough the local Nissan Dealer managed to wrap a car and kindly deliver on Xmas day morning for the wife's pressie a couple of years back.
