Abstract: A gift wrap package includes a paper bag of conventional type having a square folded bottom and side folds providing a bag of generally rectilinear shape. An insert inside the bag supports one or more of the bag sides and gives the bag the appearance of a box. A rectilinear lid closes the open mouth of the bag. In one embodiment, a pair of handles are affixed to the bag and extend through slots in the lid. In another embodiment, the handles are attached to an intermediate portion of the bag and extend alongside the lid. Suitable ribbons or bows may be applied to the package.
