That is a good idea Amma, I love to wrap, DH thinks I am nuts because I insist of wrapping all the things in the stocking as well, even mine. If I have the time I love bows and ribbons, though right now I am not sure where it all is, the kids found some wrap, I like to buy it afterwards, you can get it pretty cheap that way.

We wrapped it, and I made a bow (the kind with a little knot in the center of multiple loops). The bow was about 2.5 feet across, the ribbon to make the bow was probably 3" wide, and I think there was 60 loops on the bow. We spray acrylic-ed the bow so it stayed poofed.
For years my sister saved that bow and used it as a wreath on the front door.
That was problably - cross that out - it was DEFINITELY - the most challenging and most fun gift we ever wrapped!

In my family we have some tree-hugger type eco-warriors! lol So we try to use and re-use and then use again gift bags. Yes they are made of paper but they get three and four uses before we retire them. I buy a large roll of paper for things that just can't be put in a gift bag...like my nephew's Play-Mobil jet... but the bags suit me fine. I HATE wrapping.
