"Hi I'm Teri and in this segment we are going to be teaching you how to wrap an unboxed gift. Now I've chosen this lovely ornament here to give to someone. And now I've got to wrap it. But I don't have a box. So what do I do? Well I'm not going to try and reinvent the wheel, we are going to keep it simple. Gift bags. They are cheap, they are reusable, they are easy to use and they are very decorative as well. So I've chosen two different styles, I've got a bright green one or a silver one. Well I think I'm going to go with the green one. Now you want to fill it with some tissue paper, so I got some nice decorative tissue paper here. You can pick any color you like, they come in all sorts of styles and colors. Shiny or mat. So I'm just going to open up the tissue paper, and I'm, actually I'm going to stuff it in first into the bag. And you want to have some of the tissue paper sticking out of the bag too. And I've stuffed it in nicely, I'm going to place my gift right in the center, tuck it in. And then with the remaining tissue paper, kind of wrap it in so that you can't see the gift when you directly hand it to someone because the tissue paper is wrapping the gift. There we go and then of course these gift bags come with nice little tags here as well. So if you want to go ahead and write a note or you can purchase a card and just stick it right on the top. And we have our lovely wrapped without a box gift, right here."
