A young lady from my church wrote the following list and left it as a comment:
- Wrapping paper that is really light in color can usually be seen through by pressing the paper tight to the box its wrapped around.
- Certain things have certain shapes. For instance a “Bratz” doll box is a one of a kind shape, and baseball bats or skis are unique shapes too.
- Feeling with your hands. For instance, a box of candy canes, you can feel the space between each cane’s hook.
- Sneak a round. Look in places you wouldn’t normally look. Examples, bathroom, mom and dad’s room, even in your room a present might be hidden.
- Cracks. Sometimes there are cracks in the wrapping paper, or poor folds in the wrapping paper that you can look into and see something.
- Shake. If you shake a present the sounds it makes could give you a clue. If it sounds like broken glass – you’re in trouble. But it back and leave the room.
- Weight. If the box is heavy or light can be a clue.
- Size. If the box is big or small can be a clue. If it as big as a doll house, it might be a doll house.
- Smell. Your present might have a sweet smell if its candy, a new clothing smell, or some other smell that might give you a clue.
- Think. Use your brain and think, putting together all these clues.
