Benefits of technology

[0008]In an embodiment of the invention, a gift wrap is provided with a graphic on it. The graphic may include an outline that can be modified as appropriate to create a particular appearance. One or more designs may be placed on the gift wrap and the graphic may be colored with a set of writing instruments. The customized wrap may then be used to encapsulate a present. The customized wrap will allow for a more personalized appearance that can be both fun and educational to prepare.

Problems solved by technology

While many younger children want to be involved in wrapping presents using gift wrap that is currently available, they are often discouraged from doing so because their wrapping skills are less advanced.
Thus, they tend to feel left out of the family gift giving preparations.
Naturally, the amount of educational impact and the difficulty in completing the project depends on the developmental level of the individual doing the craft as well as the complexity of the craft.
Known gift wrap cannot address these issues.
