Of course you can use it to wrap any gift, but if your recipient isn’t familiar with the game they might think you hate them because of the drab and blocky print on the paper.

The wrapping paper comes in two variants – cobblestone and diamond. It would be awesome if you can find a pickaxe-shaped letter opener or cutter that can be used to mine open the gifts.

Or you could actually put two copies of the game inside the box. Now that would be a pleasant surprise. I wonder what a properly wrapped Skyrim game would look like. Oh I know: just cover it with a bucket.

Each colorful Tetris brick-shaped box measures 1 3/8 inches (3.5cm) deep (other dimensions vary), which means they’re not going to be big enough to hold that Lexus that you planned on giving me this Christmas. However, they are large enough to hold small trinkets like jewelry, candy, and assorted stocking stuffers.

You can grab a set of 7 Tetris boxes for $15 (USD) over at littlewhitedog’s Etsy shop. Keep in mind that they’re shipping from Dublin, Ireland, so you’ll want to allow plenty of time if you want ‘em to wrap this year’s presents.

Gotchabox is a set of three boxes from completely fake, yet surprisingly real sounding bad gift items, the USB toaster (are you sure this isn’t real?), the Make-Your-Own-Umbrella Kit and a membership to the Salt of the Month Club. While the boxes are filled with a whole lotta nothing, they certainly would be good for wrapping up some of your less interesting gifts such as support socks, fruitcake or clown figurines. Each box measures 12″x9″x4″, and a set of three Gotchaboxes will be available on November 24th from the Onion Store for $19.99.
