There are just some items that are extremely difficult to gift wrap if you're not putting them in a box, but this elastic gift wrap offers a solution for tough-to-wrap presents.
The gift wrap is basically just like being able to bind any object with a rubber band, except that it has a built-in bow that makes this look a lot more presentable. Provided that an object is not an oversized item, just about anything can be wrapped this way. As well as wrapping single items, it's a great way to stack multiples and get rid of the need of wasteful bags and wrapping papers entirely. Although the elastic does ruin the gift's surprise factor, the shape of an oddly-wrapped item can be just as much of a spoiler, not to mention unattractive.
