When I have a gift that is either too odd shaped, pretty or large to wrap, I like to use ribbons and just dress up the gift itself. In this case, I have this sign I painted for a gardener friend, and I used the Bouquet Bigz L Die to make a yellow flower in keeping with the garden theme as well as ribbon and I personally think it looks just fine to gift to my friend without wrapping it up!
I thought of making smaller flowers and giving away packages of seeds this same way....really anything would work!
(Since I had this post finished and scheduled for today before we decided to let the Challenge Spark rest for several months, I'll still post it.)

Very cool gift - your friend is very lucky! :) And I love the flower!! It totally looks awesome enough it doesn't need to be wrapped - in fact, if the gift is too odd-shaped, it looks a lot better to leave it unwrapped instead of a bulky, weird-looking shaped item!
Will look forward to your posts when you return after a summer break. Rest and recoup.

Oh I love the saying on your sign! And yes, who said a gift had to be completely hidden...
