Abstract: Various embodiments of stretchable gift wrap provide for the wrapping of a portion of a regularly or irregularly shaped article to provide an attractive and closely fitting wrap therefor. The wrap is preferably formed of a finely woven, generally opaque elastic fabric material adapted to stretch to substantially twice its unstretched dimension in all directions, such as a spandex material, although other stretchable materials may be used. In one embodiment, a flat sheet with a pair of opposite elastic bands is provided, which may be stretched over a gift or article to cover the upper portion thereof. Another embodiment comprises a flat sheet with a peripheral closure band which is used to draw the wrap tightly about an article. A third embodiment comprises a sleeve of stretchable material, which may be open at one or both ends. The sleeve may be used to wrap elongate articles (wine bottles, etc.

Abstract: A reusable gift wrapping having an adjustable main body that conforms to the size of a gift item to be covered. This main body is fabricated from a stretchable and flexible material (e.g. spandex), and it includes an interior surface and a decorative exterior surface. When the gift item is placed on the interior surface, the main body can be wrapped around the gift item to entirely enclose it within the main body. A decorative trim is attached to the circumference of the main body, and is a self forming bow that substantially conceals the circumferential edge of the main body when the main body is encircling the gift item. A draw string is either woven through the edge of the main body of the gift wrapping or is inserted in and through a sleeve provided by a hem sewn in the edge of the gift wrapping main body.
