Think about the theme of the gift-giving occasion. Knowing whether the stuffed animal is for a birthday, Christmas or "just because" can help you create a unique way of wrapping the gift when you do not have a box. Putting the stuffed animal in a Christmas stocking or an Easter basket are examples of how to incorporate the season into the gift wrapping.

Use a gift bag to wrap a small stuffed animal. Choose a plain color or a printed bag that is related to the gift-giving occasion. Stuff the bag with color-coordinated tissue paper and insert the stuffed animal in the middle of the bag. Cover the animal with more crumpled up tissue paper.

Make a package that looks like an English holiday cracker or a piece of hard candy using wrapping paper. Cut a rectangular piece of wrapping paper that is larger than the stuffed animal. Lay the toy in the center of the paper and fold the top and bottom sides of the paper in to cover the toy. Secure with a piece of tape. Tie the left- and right-hand sides of paper shut, each with a piece of ribbon so that the wrapping paper fans out like a bow.

Create a stuffed animal ornament. Buy a clear plastic ball at the crafts store, making sure that it is large enough to encase the entire stuffed animal. Put the toy into the ball and loop a ribbon through the top for hanging or carrying. Make the ornament look more festive by adding colorful confetti to the ball before you close it up.
