You love giving the gift of books, but in standard wrapping paper they can look so, well, blah. (There’s none of that recipient-enthusiastically-shaking-it-and-trying-to-guess-the-contents stuff.) But with a little creative, plot-appropriate gift wrap, there’s fun (and foreshadowing) in handing over the volume. Wind a child’s scarf around The Snowy Day. Drop a copy of Catcher in the Rye into a Holden Caulfield–style red hunting cap, bound with red and black ribbon. Adorn Jane Eyre with a velvet ribbon and a brooch. Cast a length of net and a line around Moby Dick. And coronate A Little Princess with a tiara — for your own little princess, of course.
