Wrapping oddly shaped presents (with photos)

[chopstick]

I decided to get someone a present of rum & coke, as he really likes rum & coke, and has said in the past to just buy him rum & cokes (while hanging out at a bar) for a present because he never knows what else he might want.

I decided to be a little tricky and buy rum & coke as an actual present. I bought the rum and the coke, and tried to figure out how to wrap it so it wouldn't be completely obvious what it was just by looking.

This is what I came up with:
(photos thumbnailed to prevent horizontal scrolling, click em if you want to see em bigger)


First we need rum. How about some Captain and some Bacardi. We'll also need Coke.



Here's an idea, how about we secure them with some nearby duct tape..


We'll probably need a base so the rums don't escape..



Securing the base to the main section..


Some brown paper wrapping should do nicely to hide the goods..



What the heck, let's get in the holiday spirit..




voila.


I also wrapped a bunch of tissue paper between the brown paper and the wrapping paper so you can't tell by texture what is underneath. All you can really tell about the present is that it is heavy. I guess you might be able to hear sloshing if you shook it and listened.


Anyone else got anything interesting?

Because that would be boring and unawesome.

The gift of alcoholism, how thoughtful. Honestly though, it's tacky but can you really put down a gift for another man that also involves duct tape? Didn't think so.
