Tape 2 peices of strong card either side of the point, it will disguise the point lol E x

I keep other containers through the year,like booze boxes and use these or tubes from the wrapping paper. I always try to disguise the shape of the gift anyway. Kepp 'em guessing Have fun Happy Christmas-Hugs Rose
