Level: Moderate
Materials:
| • | Table |
| • | Gift-wrapping paper |
| • | Scissors |
| • | Tape |
| • | Bows/ribbon |
| • | Checklists and registration sheets for guests |
| • | Extra cash for change |

How To:
| 1. | Arrange for a strategic location, preferably one with heavy customer traffic, to hold the gift wrapping. |
| 2. | Establish one day or a week to offer the service. |
| 3. | Ask members to sign up to volunteer during established time slots. |
| 4. | Determine the amounts to charge for this service. Set one standard fee or multiple fees for different sizes of gifts. Alternately, take donations in place of the set fee. |
| 5. | Create fliers to advertise the service; mail and post throughout the community. |
| 6. | Complete the event on-site by providing each guest with a ticket or number for their gift wrapping. Guests turn in the ticket or number to retrieve their wrapped gifts. |
Add a Twist:
| • | Provide guests with fliers, materials, or a calendar of events promoting KDP. |
| • | Offer a drop-off option so that guests may shop and return when the gift wrapping is complete. |
