Wrapping Christmas Presents with Curve for Men Cologne #ScentSavings #shop

I’ve officially made my list and checked it twice. I am the CPO- Chief Purchasing Officer- for our house for the holidays. Not only do I typically take care of the kids’ presents and family party presents, but I usually help out the hubby with his ministry gifts, as well. We try to recognize those who have assisted him throughout the year with youth classes or helping with special events. Over the past few years, he’s also taken a few millenial aged interns under his wing. They are excellent help to my husband, and the students love the 20-somethings helping out (they must be cooler than the hubby and I), but I never know what to get them for Christmas! I mean, seriously, what do I buy for a 20 something male? And how do I wrap it that will even be relevant? We buy many gifts at Walmart, and so on a recent shopping trip I ran across these Curve for Men cologne gift sets. At only $19.99, they are at an excellent price point for gift giving. It’s like finding department store brands at Walmart Every Day Low Prices.

Now, how to wrap it? I know boys don’t want frou-frou curly bows and ribbon. So I came up with the perfect idea and raided the hubby’s workshop while he wasn’t home.

Wrapping A Manly Christmas Present

Supplies:

  • Brown Kraft/Wrapping Paper
  • Electrical Tape
  • Any of ‘manly’ supplies from the workshop!

Brown kraft paper is a great base for wrapping a masculine gift. Begin by wrapping the gift with this, then dress it up with the other supplies! I found this silver tape (for duct work maybe?) and wrapped it around the  middle of the gift. I think added the electrical tape as an ‘accent’.

Raiding the workshop was actually kind of fun! I think I may go back for some sandpaper.

I’m excited to have even a small portion of my Christmas shopping and wrapping done! The Curve for Men cologne gift set is such a great choice for the gifts for the millenials on my list, and Walmart makes it easy to save on quality scents. The gift set- and each one purchased- also comes with a Celebrity ringtone download- don’t kids love stuff like that? Check out https://www.scentsavings.net for all the holiday info on Christmas gift sets and the downloadable ringtones.

The Curve for Men gift set may be found in your select Walmart on a special holiday pallet or in the Christmas department. I found mine on a holiday aisle endcap.

    Great gift idea for your hubby’s helpers! Love the masculine wrapping idea, too. I need to bust a move – I haven’t even made our Christmas shopping list yet. EEK!

    Electrical tape- who’d have thought?! Turned out great! These packs would work perfect for my stepsons!

    I like how you wrapped it in a manly way. Very clever.

    How clever!! My son is getting to the age that bows and ribbon are… “not cool mom” lol. This looks like something he would get a huge kick out of, and of course we LOVE Curve. Husband and son both wear it. 😉

    What a brilliant idea – the gift and the wrapping! I love how masculine and original it looks! #client

    That wrapping is just perfect! And I’m super curious to check out this scent next time I see it! I’m wondering if Cory might like it!

    Wow, I think that’s actual real duct tape, the expensive stuff! My husband might have a fit if he found out I was wrapping gifts with that tape, but I have to say, the pattern on it really adds a nice bit of texture to the wrapping!

    • Melanie says

      November 19, 2013 at 11:22 pm

      lol Yes, it is! I don’t think my hubby noticed, although he did blink a few times when I spray painted with his Toro spray paint one time.

    That’s a fun idea for wrapping!! I will have to smell that one next time I’m out. 😉
