Hi

[bobtheturkey]

Does anyone have any tips on how to gift wrap a bucket?

[sandyRoe]

Big sheets of wrapping paper?

[mazie]

LOL....sorry No. I wouldn't know where to start. Then again I'm not sure I would buy someone a bucket as a gift. Is it one of those silver ice buckets for putting champagne in?

[Lie-in King]

This is beyond the pail...

[Sipowicz]

Put the bucket in a box!

[Old_Geezer]

It's the missus' anniversary present of course. That and the mop.

Put it in a box first ?

[AlwaysConfused]

use something like flower wrap. place bucket in the middle of the wrap, pull wrap over and tie at the top of the bucket with pretty ribbon (with more wrap coming over the top).

Is there a hole in it Bob ?

Oh my!!! If this is an everyday bucket you won't disguise it by wrapping it...there will be no surprise unless you box it so...bling it up with ribbons, bows, bells and fill it with glitter or confetti... :-) x

put the bucket in a box and wrap the box.

just shove it in a bin liner and put some sparkly sellotape round it.

you don't sound very romantic. If my OH bought me a bucket I'd put it over his head prefably with something smelly in it.

The 'put it in a box' ideas are good, but how about softening the blow by putting something nice in the bucket before wrapping it? Box of chocolates, bottle of Cava, etc.?

....A pair of Marigolds

[Psybbo]

did you mean a bouquet?

[bookbinder]

Yes, mazie, flowers would be nice.

[craft1948]

Is it an orange B&Q one...they're brilliant.

[albaqwerty]

a bucket of Hyacinths then?

[baza]

With room for a pony?????
