It's important to think about what tone you want to set with your gift. Think of the guy's personality, not what you find appealing. Think about colors he likes or ways to coordinate the gift wrapping with the present. Usually simple and straightforward is best. Think about the occasion involved. Save romantic or very personal treatments for couple-orientated holidays. Usually a fun or light-hearted treatment will work best for birthdays.

Think color. Remember to focus on colors that he likes. A nice silver wrapping paper can make a nice backdrop for creative wrapping. Or you could try his favorite sports team's colors.

Check out the scrapbooking section at the nearby stores. You can find things that are out of the ordinary to add to wrapping to make it special. For instance, if you have a favorite movie in common, you could use scrapbook letters to add quotes from that movie to the wrapping paper. Consider real ribbon instead of the stuff you buy in bulk. Also think about using old calendar pages or posters.

Execution is key. Make sure corners are clean and the wrapping job is tidy. Make sure you have a plan in place before starting. It sometimes helps to do a mock up before you start, placing items on the present without adhering them to make sure things look just right.
