It's not only unique, but fun to make your own wrapping paper and bows. Your presents will not only stand out from the rest but will also communicate that added touch of care.
You can use plain brown grocery bags and craft paints to make your design. First wrap the gift, then let your imagination take off.
For an example, if the present is for a boy, use black & yellow craft paint to create a road. Using a toy car or truck, drip the wheels in red paint and roll along the paper to make tire tracks. Draw free hand "Stop" and "Yield" signs. Then use a hot glue gun to glue a few miniature cars and trucks.
For a girl, you can make the design a doll house, garden with butterflies or magical creatures such as a unicorn or fairies.
For the adults in the family, make patterns such as a nice holiday plaid for the guys and for the gals, create the package with ribbons.
You can top off your creations with handmade bows - simple made with loops fastened together.
Just use your creativity and look around for what you already have in the house.
