Step 2

Use a trashbag with a drawstring for larger pieces of luggage in wrapping paper. Add a more festive effect with a bow or ribbon tied on the package.

Step 3

Use the newspaper. You can get very creative by wrapping the piece of luggage with the newspaper. Use the Travel section to show your creativity (luggage will be used when traveling). Add a large bow to the package.

Step 4

Use a gift bag. If it is a smaller piece of luggage, you can fit it in a regular-sized gift bag. If it is a larger piece of luggage, you will have to use an oversized gift bag. Look at your local party store or luggage store to find a gift bag suitable for your piece of luggage. Add some colorful tissue paper to the bag to cover the luggage.
