  • 1 gift bag
  • pack of multi colored tissue paper

    Wrap Your Present in Style

    Place 2 pieces of tissue paper into the bottom of the gift bag to start wrapping the present. This will give the person a nice view when they look into see what you got them.

  • Choose a gift bag size that perfectly fits the present. Do not use anything that is too large or too small.
