Monster Gift Wrapping

Creative Birthday Gift Wrapping Idea for Kids

Kids love receiving gifts (OK I do too!).  There is something special about watching kids on their birthdays.  I love seeing their anticipation grow.  They have a twinkle in their eye that cant be matched.  I also really enjoy listening to their sequels of delight as they finally discover what the wrapping was hiding.

Transform your next gift into a fun creature with monster gift wrapping.  Your kids will love to help out.  The sillier your monster is, the better.

Your present will be the talk of the party.  I love creating a huge “wow” factor with very little effort!  Monster gift wrapping is sure to be a hit.
