LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Last-minute holiday gift wrapping can leave Christmas shoppers scrambling!

At home, gift givers may find wrapping supplies depleted and odd-shaped gifts can be challenging to wrap!

Which is why Tani White with the Container Store is here to help on "THV 11 News This Morning."

Creative Containers:
Get creative and use containers that you wouldn't normally partner with the gift - this will keep the receipt guessing as to what is inside.

Product and Gift: 
- Shirts - Featured in our Woodstock Tins 
- Ties/Socks - Featured in our Tall Rectangular Deer Tin

Keeping Gifts Secret!
Use packing materials such as peanuts, bubble wrap, tissue, etc. so the recipient can't feel the shape or texture of the gift - preventing any gift spoilers!

Product and Gift: 
- Football - Featured inside our Large Signature Sack 
- Golf Club - Featured in a large Telescoping Mailing Tube 
- Child's Toy - Featured inside our Medium Premium Snowflake Box

A Gift Within a Gift
Package the gift within a gift - package the gift in a tote or box that can be used by the recipient around the house after the holidays.

Product and Gift: 
- TCS Gift Card - Featured in our Glass Bell Jar 
- Electronics - package our Pokkett Mouse Blue inside Medium lacquered Rectangular Box Green

Special Touches
Add a tie-on to give a gift that special touch or turn a tie-on into an ornament by putting a date on it and a special message so they can keep it for years to come.
