I had three gifts for someone that were different sizes and wanted to wrap them in some way that looked beautiful and more meaningful than shoving them all in a bag. This was the end result. It looks incredibly time consuming, but fortunately it's not! It's actually quite simple.
Decorative boxes from Homesense are actually affordable and they make any gift look like a million bucks!
The black box on the bottom of the pyramid of gifts, luckily came with the gift inside. The box in the middle was only about $4.99 from Homsense. I saved some even more money by wrapping the gift on the very top with beautiful green wrapping paper that picked up on accents in the box in the middle.
The whole thing was then tied together with a gold christmas ribbon for practical reasons and visual interest.
Even if your gifts are relatively the same size, or an awkward shape, you can use this technique to wrap them.
For gifts of the same size, find one box that fits them perfectly. Next find a box that is slightly bigger and stuff tissue paper inside the box so that the gift doesn't move around and fits snug. Lastly, find one more box that is slightly bigger than the middle box and repeat with the tissue paper. You can keep repeating these steps if you have more than three gifts. Finish with the ribbon. Your gifts will look beautiful and more interesting than having them all wrapped the same size. You can use these steps with awkward shaped gifts as well.
