You could be a cheapskate and wrap that birthday present in tinfoil -- or you could be all ironic and design-conscious, and do it up in tinfoil-print giftwrap (only the touch test tells them apart).
It's one of a series of unusual trompe l'oeil wrapping rolls from Happy Merry Whatever, a St. Louis outfit with a genius name. We also like their butcher wrap, bubble wrap and plastic wrap designs, the latter printed with fridge-ready leftovers set against a 1960s-avocado-green background.

irony,
giftwrap.
