If the above stores don’t work for you, most major retailers offer some type of gift wrap option but they cost around $5-$6 per package. Here is a summary of what some of the other major retailers are offering in their online stores. This is obviously not an exhaustive list but will provide some comparison to the above store offerings.

• Macys: $6 per package. Boxed in a silver box with a ribbon.
• Kohls: $5.95 per package. Boxed in white box with a blue ribbon.
• Amazon: Their options vary depending on whether you they sell the item or one of their marketplace sellers sells the item. For most items that Amazon ships, their prices vary from $3.99 to $5.99 depending on the item. If the item cannot be boxed, they say it will be shipped in a festive cloth bag.
• Target: $5.99 option on most items. Their site says it’s wrapped in festive Christmas packaging.
• Gap: A basic box is complimentary (one box per 3 items ordered). However, if you want tissue, a ribbon and a message card, it costs $5. They have two gift box designs to choose from.
• Victoria’s Secret: $6 per package wrapped in their branded VS pink box with ribbon and a card. Or $3 for a DIY kit.
• J Crew: $5 for gift wrap on most items per package. 2 items per order. Or you can include a gift receipt and message for free without gift wrap.

Since gift wrapping depends on the size of the items, some of the above come with restrictions on number of items per box, number of wrapped packages per order, etc. For the best deal, look for stores with free shipping and free gift wrap and place multiple orders. This also works well because most retailers allow for only one shipping address per order. So if you’re shipping gifts to multiple people, you can do so easily by placing multiple orders.
