Anyone here engage in deceptive present wrapping?

[Antiyonder]

To clarify, you get a present for any occasion (someone's birthday, Hanukkah, Christmas, whatever). You want to surprise the person of course, so you might wrap it in an addition package.

For me, I usually go with the Amazon Packages, but I decided to wrap several presents in a box of Cocoa Puffs, Tony's Pizza Box and and box for Garbage Liners.

Yes I do. Like I gave my brother Scott Pilgrim for Christmas and I stuffed it in a shoebox with lots of tissue paper.

[Sparticus]

Yes. Yes I do. It is family tradition. Nothing must come in an easy to guess box. Ohohoho no. Boxes within boxes, creative uses of bubble wrap, and my personal favorite: epic amounts of packing peanuts.

For a while there, my Mom and I were sending each other things, purposefully re-using a mass amount of packing peanuts purely for the lulz. "Crap! They're back!" XD

I got my friend a sand art kit and wrapped it using all the pages of the Sunday newspaper, plus an additional real wrapping paper on top.

Yup. All the best presents come in deceptive boxes for me. Got my video games this year in a shoebox, and got my old PS2 in a bag full of bed blankets. I think I also got a Megazord one year in a box of sausages.

Absolutely!

My dad received a present within a box of duralogs from my brother and I. He was amused but only until we convinced him there were no logs in the box (otherwise he was going to leave it there half unwrapped under the tree...Yep. )

When I was younger I got my dad some small thing which I wrapped in a box, then wrapped it in a bigger box, and another and another. I think the outer box measured nearly two square feet, with the present five or six wrapped boxes deep. Leonardo DiCaprio would be proud.

This year I didn't have a particular need to do that, but some members of my family did it to each other. Someone got a gift card for Lowes that was wrapped in a Penny's clothes box. Personally I think if it's a gift card, just give it in an envelope. I'd prefer to actually get SOMETHING after unwrapping a package, however small, rather than the PROMISE of something later. I got a gift card in a tin. A GIFT CARD IN A DECORATIVE TIN WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO IT'S JUST A PLASTIC RECTANGLE.

My younger borther is a master at this. He'll trick someeone by giving them a container that he typically gives, but inside is an awesome present.

I taped a toothpaste box to the actual gift (Monopoly Deal, the card game) then wrapped it all together to give it a weird shape that no one could identify.

While I've yet to engage in it myself, one Christmas I received a shoebox full of rice. The gift-giver was a family friend who's rather mischievous and likes to tease me. You can imagine my facial expression for the first few seconds before digging out the video game underneath.
