That's actually a serious question. I'm giving my nephew a bike for Christmas and have NO idea how to present it. "Tradition" seems to be leaving the bike unwrapped, maybe with a big red bow on it, but not bringing it out until Christmas morning. If I lived in the same house as my nephew, I could do that, but that's not the case and I've got to bring it up to his house this Sunday when I go up there to spend the afternoon with my brother, sis-in-law, and nephews so we can "do" Christmas together. When he knows that I'm coming over, he is usually waiting, watching out the door for me to get there, so leaving it unwrapped would mean he'd immediately see it.
An internet search said to leave the bike in it's big flat shipping box & wrap that, but since the bike is second-hand, it's already assembled. (A charitable organization that my SO supports was selling an absolutely mint-condition kid's bike for $10 at their yard sale, so I jumped on it!! It even came with a helmet, so I couldn't resist.) I don't think I have a box big enough to put an already assembled bike in, so I don't think that's an option.
H.E.L.P!!!!!! All ideas are welcome!!
