@Susan5679 , this is one of your gifts.
One can only hope that the beer God @Ron approves of this.

Not sure how I made beer God status..but ill take it!

If you need any more wrapping paper I'll gladly take those pesky cans they ship inside the paper off your hands.
 
I got these at Walmart for my nieces and nephews gift cards. Should be fun.

Question for the wrapping experts here: What’s a clever way to wrap event tickets? I paid extra to get the paper tickets just so I could wrap them.

put them in a box and duck tape it up... then put the box in a bigger box and tape it up.... then a bigger box with some bricks thrown in then wrap it.

But toss old phone books or something in the large(er) boxes so they don’t realize how light the tickets actually are.

Put the tix in a plain envelope, taped to the inside of the largest box. They’ll keep opening the successively smaller boxes and find nothing in the smallest. At that point, they will likely need more guidance to hone the search back to the bigger boxes.

We did similar mess and nearly lost money one year..

Another is hidding crap in the tree......The MIL is bad for that until one year she literally forgot to hide it. They tore that tree up.
It was laying on their kitchen counter junk space.

My girlfriend has done a scavenger hunt for me before. After 10 different places to get clues around the house I said screw it whatever the hell you bought better show up or I just won’t get it.

Those shenanigans are always fun, til a senior citizens has a senior moment....then it's crisis prevention and time for another drink.
 
My parents used to be really bad for putting things in boxes from other things and then wrapping the box...
until the expected chaos of gift opening that comes with 5 or 6 small people and my mom tossing gifts at everyone like t-shirts out of a cannon lead to me almost donating a really good bottle of Irish whisky to Goodwill.

My dad gave me what appeared to be a very nice decanter... that I had no real need for because I don't decant whiskey. It went in the back of the Explorer to come home from their house and I never took it out. January was busy and I hadn't gotten around to going by Goodwill. My dad kept asking if we'd tried the whisky he gave us. He'd given Shawn a bottle of something, so we thought that's what he meant. When we had finally opened it up and tried it, we told him and then he asked if we'd tried the Irish... which we found inside the decanter box, still in the back of the Explorer.

Things get wrapped a little more carefully now.

When I was a maybe 7 or so my "dad" had this weird fixation with Planters Honey Roasted peanuts. He had quit smoking,and took to eating honey roasted peanuts. I thought they were nasty. But he kept buying these huge boxes of honey roasted peanuts. (Think boyscout popcorn tub size boxes)..so that year for Christmas I had asked him for 2 things. A new open faced fishing reel (a Mitchell 330 to be exact for any of the fishermen) and real leather football.

So we did Christmas at Nana's and I opened my gift from Dad....it was a giant tub of those nasty ass peanuts. I faked excitement, stimeyed back tears in my 7 year old eyes that Santa didnt know better and moved on to the next thing. fast forward to several weeks later mom opened the peanuts because "someone ought to eat them fore they go bad" and there was a fishing reel and football inside. Dad missed that I didnt open them in the chaos. Hed been walking around with the sore ass for a few weeks because I wasnt appreciative of my Christmas presents and Id been walking around pissed at Santa for a few weeks....thats when I learned Santa was fake.
 
Our Family always re-uses boxes, you have to make sure and open it and never assume that box of tampons, Fruit Loops, or Chivas Regal box has what came in it originally.

AS for the box in box wrapping my son and I exchange a gift that has Duct tape 5-6 rolls (real kind sticks much better than off brands) , Zip ties, bailing wire whatever makes it more difficult to open. And you only get to chose one tool to open it with. Last year I got a welded box. Luckily I knew it and chose a 4-1/2" grinder!
