Ellen Timberlake, the recently-crowed winner of the fourth annual Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper contest, offers additional tips on clever, creative ways to wrap gifts. According to Timberlake, If you are wrapping a real present, "one simple approach is to disguise the present so the recipient has no idea what's inside."

Here are some typical gifts for dads and grads, with suggestion from Timberlake on how to "keep 'em guessing", just in time for your store windows:

• Cardboard Tubes (Great for neckties) Use a cardboard tube (from a roll of paper towels). Wrap the tube in red paper and use a piece of string and some shredded tin foil to make a sparkly fuse to tuck into one end of the tube. Your creation says "Dad you're dynamite!"
• Wallet or money clip: Make the wrapping part of the gift. Tape together about eight one-dollar bills to make the "paper" you will use to wrap the small box. Once dad opens the gift, he can put the wallet to immediate use by filling the wallet or money clip with the bills in which it was wrapped.
• Briefcase: Start by putting the briefcase into a larger box than necessary so the shape is hidden. Then have some fun with the wrapping by considering the recipient and how the briefcase will be used. For example, wrap the gift in a local street map for a sales rep, or the want ads for a recent college graduate.
Gift certificate: Make the wrap match the gift certificate. For example, a gift certificate to a bookstore could be placed inside an old paperback. A music store gift certificate could be inserted into a CD case. If dad is an amateur chef and wants kitchen tools or appliances, roll and tie your gift certificate with ribbon around the handle of a wooden spoon. The recipient will wonder why you're giving them the item you did ... until they see the "real" gift!
