Christmas Long Guns

[MrBrian]

Does anybody have any good ideas on how to disguise long guns when wrapping them for Christmas? I don't want a rifle box wrapped up sitting under the tree, because then they'll know what they're getting!

Some things just have to be put out the night before. Wrap it & stow it flat in some obscure place for a few weeks. If the gun comes apart, you can take it out of the box, put it into a different box with the barrel off, that really helps. You can also do the old card trick.... give them a card or small box in their stocking, inside it has a note "go look under your bed" or something silly.

Put it in an even bigger box.

Stand it up within the christmas tree!

hide it some where and wrap a small box with a note in it telling them where their gift is located (e.g. under the couch, under the bed, in the closet)...

Put it in several boxes, each one slightly larger then the last. Then wrap it in several layers of wrapping paper. Even if it's still roughly the same shape and they figure out what they're getting, it'll throw 'em for a loop when they open layer after layer.

Wrap it in a bicycle box.

Put it in a guitar case.

Take it apart and wrap it in a bunch of little boxes.

When I bought my Dad a Ruger No.1 for Christmas a few years ago I gave him a box of .338 ammo. When he opened it up he told me he didn't have a .338. About that time I had my brother walk out with his new gun. It only works if the person who is getting the gift doesnt already have a gun in the same cailber that they are getting.

This is how I did it... but had several notes hidden in different places, scavenger hunt style.

With some masking tape and an extra box, it should be no problem making it look like a guitar or a large tennis racket.

When I got my first shotgun many moons ago my Dad wrapped a catalog picture of the gun in a shoebox. Gun was under the bed in my parents room.

You can also just cover it. Wrap it, put it way in the back of the tree, and pile other gifts around it so it comes out last.

Take it apart and wrap it in a bunch of little boxes.

This sound like something I would do......
