When our kids were growing up, they liked to disguise Christmas presents for their siblings. They would wrap gifts inside cereal boxes, but then next year actually give the box of cereal as the gift. Also, similar to the pics, they gave my daughter windshield wiper blades, but wrapped them to look like a shovel w/blades as the handle.

The best one by far was the year we had to disguise a pair of skis. My husband worked for a printing company and brought home a huge cardboard roll from the paper. We put the skis in the tube and proceeded to make a palm tree Christmas tree that year. Balloon coconuts, monkey, giant palm leaves, lights and ornaments. They all remember that Christmas and the fun we had making the tree.
