Learn more about four great theme ideas below.

• The Wild, Wild West is favourite with many young boys, so wrapping a gift in a cowboy theme can help appeal to the cowboys and Indians (or Toy Story) fan in them.
• To wrap a present in a cowpoke theme, pick out a wrapping paper with a western pattern, like horses, boots, hats or ropes.
• Wrap the present in the paper, then use a thin rope, reminiscent of a lasso, to wrap around the present like a ribbon.
• To add extra theme-related flair, consider adorning the present with a plastic Wild West sheriff's badge that the boy will also be able to wear.

• For the little boy who loves the sea, wrap the present in a nautical theme.
• Choose colours that are associated with sailing like blue or white (or blue and white stripes), or choose a sailing related pattern, like anchors, boats, or waves.
• Add an additional themed adornment to add to your colour scheme by cutting an anchor-shaped gift tag to attach to the gift with your name inside.
• Also, you can tie thin rope around the present instead of ribbon to reflect the rigs of a sailboat.
• If your little boy is more of a pirate-lover, consider replacing rope or ribbon with a black eye patch.

• For the sports-loving little guy, choose wrapping paper in the colours of his favourite sports team.
• Tie the gift with ribbons in his team's colours, as well.
• Print a picture of the team's mascot or the boy's favourite player, and use the image to make a gift card to accompany the present.

• It's hard for little boys not to love the speed and excitement of racecars.
• So bring this thrill to his gift by wrapping it in a race car theme.
• Choose a wrapping paper printed with race cars, or select a black and white checkered paper reminiscent of the racing flag.
• Once the present is wrapped, use a ribbon or tape to affix a small Matchbox race car to the top.
