I bought my husband one DVD, how should I wrap it so he doesn't know that's what it is?

Put it in the blender, then wrap the blender without a box. This way he can obviously see it's a blender, and be really confused. Make sure he opens it and sees the dvd, and don't let him make a smoothie.

Wrap up the dvd remote and put the dvd in the player.

If you want to be really sneaky, get a shoe box and tape the DVD onto the bottom of the lid. Put the lid on the box then wrap the box. When your husband opens it, there he won't be able to see anything until he looks beneath the lid.

Take an old football, slash it and insert the DVD into it - then wrap it!

Pick out some nice lingerie or a "toy" for you that you would both like and wrap with it. The DVD can wait and you BOTH get a present!

Get a cheap, really awful DVD that you know he will hate and wrap it up. He'll think that it's the one he wants until he opens it. Go on and on about how you know he like the (bad) DVD and insist on putting it in the DVD player.

Then, secretly switch the two DVDs so the right one plays. That will definitely surprise him.

You could always wrap it and then put the wrapped DVD on the same shelf as his DVD collection. Tell him you got him a present, but he has to find it. He will know it's a DVD, but it makes it more of a game.

Fabric Gift Bags Fabric Gift Bags make beautiful, personal and unique gift wraps for all gift-giving occassions. Even better, they're re-usable and made of recycled materials. To buy fabric gift bags, click URL1 make your own gift bags, start by gathering all the scrap material you can lay your hands on.

A good idea is to put it in a square box that does not suggest the shape of a DVD You could wrap the DVD in bubble wrap so it doesn't shake around or use paper to fill the box.

Cut down a paper towel roll so it fits in a shoe box. Put a golf ball in the towel roll, in the shoe box with the DVD. When he shakes it, it will make a very odd noise.

He'll never guess what it is!

Put the DVD in a shirt box or any other box then wrap it.

I know this is an obvious answer, but wrap it up with a brick or stone or something heavy. I did that one time and he had no clue what it was and couldn't figure out why it was so heavy.

Wrap it and put it in a gift bag. Then put a bunch of tissue paper in the bag with it.

There are several ways to confuse someone trying to determine the contents of a wrapped gift. 1) Take two small gifts and wrap them together: This method involves wrapping multiple items together to create an interesting shape that is less identifiable than the beginning shape. The only problem with this solution is that they unwrap two gifts at once.2) Wrap the item with a piece of cardboard or other hard to determine object: Simply cutting the flap off an old cardboard box and wrapping the whole thing can make it rather interesting.3) Put the item in a larger box and wrap the larger box: This tried and true method can obfuscate the item being wrapped, but tends to lend itself to the "shaking" method of detection.4) Stuff the package holding the item to be gifted: By placing some wadded up newspaper inside the wrapping paper for the item it is possible to make it look completely different.5) All of the above: Be creative, use any or all of the above wrapping methods in URL1 may make the wrapping more difficult, but watching them open it will be worth the effort.

One word of caution though, don't get too confusing so that they get frustrated in trying to open the gift, it is supposed to be fun to open presents after all.

What usually works well is to take the DVD, wrap it up. From there, take a bigger box and stuff with tissue paper and put in the wrapped DVD box. Then, wrap the bigger box.

That is the best option in my opinion.

Buy him some underwear, boxers, or white tees. And slip the dvd in the middle of hte packaging. If you do well...he may not even notice its in there.

It depends on what type of DVD it is. Take a themed approach to wrap the gift. If it is a action movie or adventure movie, wrap it in some safari gear.

A couple good tricks. Put it in a dress shirt box, and fill the box with the tissue paper that is normally in a shirt box (along with the DVD) and wrap it. He'll think he got clothes.. Just make sure to tape the DVD box to the bottom of the shirt box so if he shakes it, he won't hear any rattle.

Another great option is to by a box from the Onion (store.theonion.com/cards--gift-boxes-c-2...) They have hilarious gift boxes (though a bit pricey).

My boyfriend once done this for me, he wrapped up my dvd's in his jumpers, so I was a bit confused when I opened them up on Christmas day - wondering why he would wrap his jumpers up for me! But all made sense when I opened it up, and gave a bit of a laugh too!

Place it in a larger box to hide the size. Use tissue paper to prevent sliding around.

Put some cotton or rags above and below it so that the whole thing is cylindrical (DVD as diameter). Then wrap it up like a big candy (with ears on the 2 sides).

You could use bubble wraps around it and pack it again in some gift paper. This will avoid showing the flat nature of the content. Also by touching and feeling the softness he can't guess it's a DVD that's inside.

Good Luck!

What a brilliant question! I think you should put it inside a small box, wrap the small box, put the small box inside a slightly bigger box, wrap that, then in a slightly bigger box, and so on for about five more boxes. Unwrapping them all will be so much fun and a great story to tell family and friends.

Plus it demonstrates how special he is to you, that you'll go through all that effort.

Put it in a shoe box or better yet--put a pcitur or cut out of a picture of it in an envelope and then give him the DVD after opening.

You can put it in a shirt box and stuff the box with tissue paper so it doesn't move around.

Go out and buy him a pack of socks or underwear and then open it up as carefully as you can and wrap the gift inside the package. It's long been debatable whether or not socks and underwear make great gifts, so it'll be a nice twist to a gift that usually makes the receiver fake a smile as they say, "Oh... underwear, Honey. You shouldn't have.

First wrap it up, then put it in a old shoe box, then put it in a bigger box and then wrap it up in your favorite wrapping paper, that way he never knows what it is. Plus its a joke with a gift.

Tape it to the bottom of a much larger box and add something with significant weight like a small bag of sand.

Put it in the DVD player and wrap the remote!

I like to wrap such items in clothing boxes. Then the intended recipient expects clothes (which, especially for husbands, are not usually awe-inspiring gifts), and is pleasantly surprised to find a DVD inside.

Wrap it in a box then put that box in a shoe box with some newspaper then wrap the shoe box.

The Onion sells gag gift boxes which look like they contain useless items (such as the iFeast Pet-Feeding & MP3 Docking Station). Order one of these and place the DVD in the box, then wrap as usual. There are other funny choices as well!

Place the DVD in a book and wrap the book. For fun you can go to your local library and get free discards. I got my wife a Rand McNally's Illustrated ATLAS of the world that was printed in 1987.

I told her it was a classic. Then had her look up Australia (to see haw it has changed). It was hard to keep a straight face.

She was surprised to find the DVD taped to the page.

You could put it in a decorative back with tissue paper. That way it could be almost anything.

Get a box larger than the dvd, like a shoebox, computer box, old appliance box, moving box, or whatever. Grab a few small items with a bit of weight to them, like soup cans, bundles of newspaper, etc. Place the heavier objects in the box, then the dvd, tape it shut and wrap it up. If you're afriad of the heavy objects damaging the dvd, just tape them down inside the box with packaging tape or duct tape.

We did this last christmas for my brother in law using a computer box filled with newspapers and about 20 cans of soup. We also taped the entire outside of the box with duct tape to make it that much harder to open. He couldn't even lift the box and when he finally managed to open it, all that was inside was a gift card for best buy.

He got a kick out of it and everyone else got in a few laughs and some great photos.

Buy a cheap-ugly shirt---put the DVD inside the shirt--put the shirt in the box and wrap it up- at first he will think he got an ugly shirt--and be pleasantly surprised to find teh DVD inside.

Honestly, just grab an old clothes box or shoe-box to place it in, and wrap that up. Just don't forget to pack some additional paper around it to keep it from bouncing around. Broken DVD's are not easy to watch these days.

Good luck! Ryan.

Place it in a bigger box. Fill the remainder of the box with paper, maybe even something heavy to throw him off.

Plastic bags and newspaper will make it look and feel like a pillow. Wrap over the bags.

Wrap the DVD inside of a shoe box (or similarly sized box) and include a brick, several rocks, or ball bearings (i.e. Metal marbles) with it. The additional weight and noises the package will make when shaken will make for an interesting gift experience.

My advice is to make it more interesting by placing it wrapped in a box then a bigger box and a bigger box and a much bigger box. This way he will think that every box he opens has his gift when only the smallest box has it in there. A box within box system.

Buy a cheap pillow and stuff it inside it and then wrap up the pillow.

Put it in an odd shaped box and then wrap the box. Maybe a round box or a really big one.

I disguise my packages. Wrap it, then put it in another box and wrap it again. He won't know what it is until he sees the last wrapped box.

Have fun with it. Be creative. :-).

1. Wrap Towels around the box and then wrap that 2. Get a big UHAUL moving box, put the DVD player in that and then wrap the large box.

He'll REALLY be confused :-).

I used to always like to have fun with people by putting a small box inside a bigger box inside a bigger box. You can even wrap each one individually to add to the fun.

This takes a little preparation but it is fun. For a fun activity I like to write a clue on a card or print off a treasure map on the computer to a location in your house. Make the clue obvious and in each location add a new clue to a new location.

You can add as many steps into this as you would like; you know your audience's patience better then me. Add some fun in the clues like a clue hidden in the cookie jar and wrap the clue around a chocolate chip cookie or maybe inside a balloon that he needs to pop to get the next clue. Make it fun!

On the final clue I would have it go back to the DVD Remote with PUSH ME taped to the play button. Stage the TV so the movie starts when he pushes play. I've done this for my wife many times, usually for items that she knows she's getting...I just like to make her work a little to get it.

Enjoy and take pictures!

Put it in one box, then another and then finally a third. Make sure you use bubble wrap/tissue/newspaper to keep the boxes from moving. He'll have fun opening the gift and will never be able to guess what it is.

Use a bag with paper stuffing. You could also just unwrap it now and wrap a piece of paper saying hit play on the dvd player and have the dvd sitting in the player ready to go :-).

Wrap the DVD in a odd-shaped box like a ball. Try to use a box that isn't cube shaped. It'll make him wonder what it is and he'll never know what's inside!

Make an unusual shaped box by applying paper mache to an ordinary box, and then put the DVD inside surrounded by polystyrene so it doesn't rattle around. Then wrap the whole package. Your husband will definitely not know what the package is.

Your surprise DVD will be kept safe from guesses. Hope this helps, Daniel.

Put it inside a larger box, carefully pad so it doesn't shake and then wrap.

Get a bigger box and stuff it with the cheapest things you can find that are already in the house, especially things they would recognize. For example, the worst spoon, a stack of paper, some random socks, etc. Then put the DVD all the way on bottom.It's really fun when you watch the person opening the box!

Get a cardboard box, fill it halfway with raw beans, noodles, or another commonly available filler. Lay the DVD over the filler material and then fill up the remainder of the box. This method will change the dimensions and weight of your gift package to conceal its true contents.

Choose the box dimensions and filler density that best suit your needs.

I like to wrap obvious items by placing them in a shoebox and then stuffing it with something to prevent rattling. What's really fun though is wrapping it, then putting it in a small box, then wrapping that and putting it in a bigger box, then wrapping that and putting it in a bigger box, then wrapping that and putting it in a bigger box. It will really build the anticipation and he'll go crazy trying to get to the bottom of it.

Plus, he'll think he's getting a really big gift since the biggest box will have to be really big.

What I've always found to be the best method is to take a larger box, like the type that you would receive a dress shirt in from a department store, and tape the dvd to the bottom of the box. The advantage of the taping is that it throws off even the shakers!

Find a DVD that you own for a movie he hates. Then switch the box to that DVD with the box to the new DVD. He'll open the wrapping and think, "We already have this!

And I hate it! " Then he'll open the box and find the new DVD.

Wrap it as in a box and than box that up in a bigger box and so on. The last and biggest box should be a box for a big tool set on wheels and do not put wrapping paper on it as you ant the logs on the box to fool your husband.

Good question! In order to hide the fact that you got him a DVD you will need to change the shape of the box. This means you have two options: go larger or go smaller.

If you put the dvd into a larger box and wrap that, he will have no way of knowing that he got a DVD. However, he might get over-excited about getting a "large" gift, and might be disappointed when it's just a DVD. Not good!

Instead, I recommend you wrap the DVD as usual, and then hide it, somewhere close to the tree but unusual. Then, all you need to put under the tree is a card in a christmas-envelope that says where to look. That way, he will never know what you got him, and you also won't have to worry about him fantasizing about "what's in the big box".

Good luck!

Find an old paperback from a library sale or something. The book's length, breadth and thickness should be bigger than the DVD. Carve out space for the DVD box within the book.

Wrap the book loosely so it is obvious it is a book. Find a funny book. Mayb e even wrap it in clear plastic.

And make a treasure hunt out of it. Give him a card and a hint, then he will never be able to guess.

Buy him a DVD rack and put the DVD in the rack and then wrap that. Maybe buy him some more DVDs for his new rack too. Why?

Because people love big gifts!

Wrap it in a plastic bag, then apply one complete layer of packing tape, then newspaper, then tape again, then plastic bag, then tape again, then your favorite wrapping paper... It will not feel like a dvd and it will be a present for you to watch him try to open it.

Obtain several product boxes for products of different types and sizes. For example: Make the largest box one that is for some product he definitely would not care for, like a bed comforter set or box used for pot and pan set. Inside this pack the middle box which should be for something he would like very much like to get like a cordless drill or electronic gadget.

Then the third use a box for another product he is not likely to appreciate, like one for an electric hair dryer or woman’s shoes. This last box will contain his intended gift, which after the roller-coaster ride of boxes he will be glad to receive.

Get a business card from the local new car dealership, put it in an envelope. Let the salesman whose name is on the card hold the dvd for you. When your husband opens the envelope, tell him he has to meet with the person on the card to pick up his new "present." ; ).

Take the dvd out of the case, and put it in your dvd player. Then box and wrap your dvd player. Then box and wrap your television.

After that, find a bix box and put it over your entertainment system and wrap the box uplike a giant gift. So your husband will think you bought him a new entertainment system! But by the time he is done unwrapping all of your guys stuff, he probably won't want to watch it.... But it would be funny!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
