12 Ideas on How to Wrap a Bike for Christmas

We get asked all the time on how to wrap a bike when it’s a Christmas gift. Well we all know it’s not the easiest item to wrap but we've compiled a bunch of ideas, suggestions and tips that will help you.

  1. Use a Bike Bag that simply goes over the top of it. You can find some here… http://amzn.to/1lBpDqg
  2. If you have a younger child and you want it to come from Santa, then this is the perfect idea. Place the bike on the roof and lead your child outside. Show him or her the bike that was placed on the roof because Santa couldn’t fit it down the chimney.
  3. If you don’t want to go through the painstaking time of wrapping a bike then just wrap the helmet. On Christmas, give the helmet to the recipient as their last gift. Upon opening they may be confided at first but that’s when you roll in their brand new bike!
  4. However, if you do want to take the time of wrapping the bike, then buy a very large amount of wrapping paper and wrap it so no one could tell what it is by leaving big gaps of air within.
  5. You could get really creative with wrapping paper or use magazine pages, or other designed paper, and wrap every inch of the bike.
  6. Everyone loves a treasure hunt, so why not make your bike recipient hunt for it with a series of clues that lead to it. It’s a creative and entertaining way to spend your Christmas morning.
  7. Take a picture of the bike and wrap the picture up in a small box and include directions on where to find the bike.
  8. Don’t want to spend much time figuring out a way too present the bike? Just put it in a large container such as a box or a large bag.
  9. An easier way rather than wrapping the bike or doing something else special, is just to bring it out after all the other gifts have been opened.
  10. If you have a child that is older and would prefer to choose their own bike, you can give them a gift card or gift certificate.
  11. A more discrete way to show gift a bike is to give the recipient a bike ornament. Once they have opened it, you roll in their brand new bike.
  12. Don’t wrap it, put a bow on it and set it up near the tree.

Whichever way you choose to wrap their new bicycle, watch as the recipient gets the biggest smile on their face as they realize what they’re getting for Christmas! Enjoy your holidays and don’t keep that bike wrapped up for long. Get out and ride!
