gift wrapping
Decorative paper covering
Gift wrapping is the practice of enclosing a present in decorative paper, often finished with ribbon, bows, or other embellishments.
The term covers both the activity and the materials used: The store offers free gift wrapping during the holidays.
Gift wrapping transforms an ordinary purchase into something that looks special and builds anticipation for the recipient.
Many stores have a gift wrapping station or service, especially during peak shopping seasons.
