how would you wrap Hoppers for under Christmas tree?

[raze]

Looking for a clever way to give these to DH & DS on Christmas morn. Any ideas?

My favorite is always the one box inside another box inside another box and so on till you can't box any more. You could wrap each box in some Disney paper and along the way drop a hint or two--a disney dollar in this box, an old brochure in the next, and maybe end up in the last box with a t from the Disney store with the hoppers inside.

One year when I was in HS, my parents got me a plane ticket to visit my uncle. She set up a scavenger hunt. She had clues and I had to find the clue and then it would lead to another. In addition to the ticket, there was money hidden along the way.

It was great!

1. The Disney Store will give you really cute gift boxes if you ask. 2. If your not near a disney store I heard thru the DISvine that Dollar Tree has Disney paper.
3. I plain white wrapped box with Mickey heads all over it would be cute. If you don't draw, I would hit up Home Depo and use their paint swatches.
4.You could even do a riddle thing, that when they solve the riddle, they get their gift. (This would only be good for veterens). The allears newletter every month has a riddle. Pick something easy.

This is just off the top of my head. Hope it helps.

Honest!!1 I swear I haven't had any caffine this morning. Just high on Disney. Only 2 more days.

Buy a stuffed Mickey and put (tape) them in his hands. When they first open it up, they will think they've just gotten a stuffed animal until they look closer.

How about a deck of playing cards? Get some Disney playing cards, just cut a slit in the cellophane wrapping and slide the pass inside the box and wrap it. We did this one year with cash and after opening the gift my DD smiled and said "Nice", and put down the deck. It wasn't until later when we encouraged her to actually open the deck of cards that she found the real gift.

I tucked them into the very bottom of Christmas Stockings

What made that the most fun is that I'd bought them one at a time from money I'd squirreled away. Told DH on Dec 23 so he could have the fun of watching the kids find theirs but also so he wouldn't think I'd loaded the charge card to fund my Christmas Suprpise.

One year my parents had plane tickets for a family vacation places inside sealed cans. I don't know how they had this done, but they were literally canned. We got can openers in our stockings and thought that was very strange! I sure would not do that with little kids though, way too sharp. You are getting some great ideas. I had a friend who had to follow a string all through her house to ultimately find a key for a car from her husband! I am sure they will love the gift, I know I would!

Well- they are park Hoppers aren't they? Why not have the Easter Bunny deliver them Christmas morning? How funny would that be? If not the real EB- how about buying a stuffed bunny and using that? Make up some kind of a cute story or poem to read along with it.

How about attached to Pal Mickey or inside the vacation planning video/dvd that you can get free.

Inside a waist pouch that includes all the little things for a day at wdw (disposible camera, sunscreen, sunglasses, Disney dollars)

Make it the pickle gift. Hide a pickle ornament on the tree and then the one who finds it gets the tiks.

Hello raze ,
try this -- you put a clue in side the box and make then make them hunt it down inside the new Disney 2004 books ?? or you could do the box in box thing with a penny or jingle bell so they don't know what really is in there !! and attach it to something fun ..

You are soo nice to do that for DH and DS..!! Michelle

Another fun thing to do is to put a box of macaroni in the same box with the passes. The box will rattle like legos and throw them off the scent entirely.

One more idea to toss at you...buy those individual hard plastic sleeves they have for trading cards, punch a hole in it, then string w/ ribbon and hang it on the tree. Then give them some reason to really look at it, ask them to see if that is a light out or give them something else to hang...

Here's another idea. Go to either the Discovery store or Toys r Us and get a plush Kangaroo. Wrap it up in Disney paper and let them try and figure out why they got a "hopper" wrapped in Disney Paper!
