What is the most difficult/awkward present you will have to wrap and or disguise this year?

Mine is the horse riding whip for our horse mad Granddaughter.

I have resorted to putting it inside a cardboard roll from inside a roll of wrapping paper from a few years back. These days they all tend to be rolled around brown paper so I was lucky to find one with a cardboard roll I think.

I've just got my daughter a flat piece of cardboard for Christmas.

Although, what the daft cow wants with an ex box I'll never know.

Lol Bob!

Dawn when we have had large presents like that we have hidden them outside. Maybe get a reel of ribbon, tie the end in a bow and put it with a label on with her presents then lead the ribbon to where you have hidden the BMX.

Granddaughter only started to learn to ride this year but is well and truly hooked. In August she went to a riding camp where they had to muck out and groom the horses etc and she learnt to do some very low jumps. I prefer not to think about it never having had much to do with horses, love to look at them providing they are the other side of a fence. Big teeth they've got :-D

thats a good idea Ann thanks for that.

As for horses STeve hates them I love them and would of loved to of learnt and Zo is now going see a different side to Lissy when she is teaching her than when they are at home together. Zo went yestrerday and Lis was showing Zo its teeth and shoving her hand in its mouth not sure I would trust them that much lol. Some of the things she has had to do at college is yucky but she loves it

There is no way she would persuade me to put my hand in a horses mouth :-D

Nothing so far this year Ann, but in the past a football tested my ingenuity on wrapping for my son. Now, I have a grandson, history will be repeating itself, I'm sure :-D

How do you make socks and pants look an exciting present, or, as my son says, juicy?
