Abstract: A gift wrapper which significantly simplifies the practice of gift wrapping while still producing an aesthetically pleasing gift-wrapped article. In particular, a preformed gift wrapping sleeve for use in gift wrapping a hexahedronally-shaped article of a predetermined size, whereby the steps necessary to gift wrap the article are simplified and minimized. The gift wrapping sleeve is a single piece of sheet material having a decorative design incorporated on its exterior surface suitable for any occasion. The sheet material is folded to form two pairs of opposite side wails. The first pair of side walls extend at different lengths such that there is a longer wall and a shorter wall and the second pair of side walls have creases that extend their entire lengths. One end of the sleeve is pre-closed. The article to be gift wrapped is placed within the sleeve and the other end of the sleeve is closed and secured by adhesion means located near the end of the longer wall.
