20 Inspired Holiday Gift Wrapping Ideas for Kids

Want to make the outside of your child's present as special as the inside? Try one of these 20 inspired holiday gift wrapping ideas. Repurpose everything from office supplies and old puzzle pieces to comics and candy (brilliant!) and then watch your kid scream before opening the gift. Just don't let Santa take all the credit.

The Name Game
Forget searching through the gift tags -- kids (and grown-ups) will love spotting their loot from across the room with the bold personalization of this clever idea from Bugs and Fishes. Simply print letters on white or colored paper (use the outline setting), cut them out and attach them to your wrapped gift with a glue stick. Or use stencils to create letters for your packages from leftover giftwrap, comics, old maps, magazine pages -- whatever your kid is into.
