Piling gifts into a car results in certain unbecoming consequences. Like smashed
ribbons and bows . . . . The following ideas not only look great under the tree -- or elsewhere, I bet they travel well:
And if you run out of tape -- which happens frequently
to me -- it's no problem when you go this route. Just wrap and wrap the twine again until it secures
your present in a most abstract yet pretty way.

Using letter stencils, create messages -- like Merry Christmas, a name, Happy Hanukkah. Cut letters from old maps, sheets of music, fabric, colorful paper and etc.
Perfect for travel and a fun way to personalize a present. (From Bugsandfishes )
A Sweet Idea:
It doesn't get any easier than candy and a hot glue gun!
If traveling and fearing cracked the candies, then
apply the lifesavers upon arrival.

Rather than throw away your paper scraps this year, save them and
do a mix-and-match look next year. Be "green," get creative.
