once i bought my friend a giant rubber pencil (yes it wrote even!) for a gag gift, cause im cheap like that. Well. I took a big box, put fireplace bricksin the bottom (thin, but heavey) and lots ofballed up newspaper then put the pencil in there hidden. Next i duct/k taped the whole box shut. Then i wrapped it normally. good times, her family was like "what did you get her!" i told them a puppy, and kept telling them that up till the end when they saw the tape. they were crazy like me... so it worked.
Another time i got my friend a video tape (yes they still make those) and taped it to the bottom of the box so that it would not be able to be shaken to find the contents of the box out... about 5 layers on the inside worked. and about another 15 layers on the out side made for a good half hour long laugh fest for me and the other goers...
so, all in all, duct tape the gift to the bottome of the box. make sure theres some wrapping as to not ruin the gift. then fill with bricks (if its not too fragile) or somthing else heavy.
