Hi everyone, my son a massive fan of scooby doo, and for Xmas I manage to get a bundle of scooby doo toys off eBay, the only problem is I'm out of ideas of how wrap them. The bundle included a spooky mansion, the mystery machine van and lots of figures and accessories that are just loose. I was wondering if anyone had any better ideas than too just wrap them up individual.
Thank you
Vicky

Can you buy a basket or even one of the Scooby Doo storage boxes, display everything in it the cover with cellophane?

Sounds like you could use a Christmas santa sackComping wishlist for 2017

Or one of those Xmas pudding bin bags which (not my local) Poundland had last year.They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm.0

I'd wrap the big stuff like the mansion and van separately, then put all the bits and bobs in a bag to be like a Santa sack.0

..or put them all in a cardboard box (such an easy shape to wrap!
) You could also put shreaded tissue paper in to make it like a 'lucky dip'.

In my experience volume is just as important as the gift for young children.
There is also plenty of excitement for them in unwrapping a pile of gifts.
I therefore wouldn't rush to put everything unwrapped in one big container.
If you started now, would you not be able to wrap the items individually and put the wrapped items in a box or santa sack?Smiles are as perfect a gift as hugs...

I would also go for the lucky dip type route. I did it for my 3 siblings when they were younger, they loved it.0

Lucky dip kind of thing is definitely how I'd go ... actually we still do wrap individually then put all into a box and wrap the box it makes for extra excitingness... Also if you were able to get a scooby doo storage box like someone above mentioned not only have you got the gift wrapping sorted but you've also given the toys a home for tidying
