wrapped gift
Papered holiday parcel
A wrapped gift is a present enclosed in decorative paper, typically given for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions.
The wrapping conceals the contents, adding an element of surprise: The wrapped gifts under the tree were driving the kids crazy.
The phrase emphasizes presentation—an unwrapped gift is still a gift, but wrapping signals ceremony and anticipation.
