How Men Wrap Gifts

I came up with this idea while purchasing a 5 gallon bucket and lid for my wife to use to brine our Thanksgiving turkey.

What I came up with is how to wrap Christmas gifts....man style.  Not only would a bunch of these look really cool under your tree, but they are "peek resistant".

The "Homer" buckets are available at Home Depot for $2.60 each, or in a pack of 3 for $7.02

And the lids are available for $1.18 each

Simply put your gift(s) in the bucket with any necessary padding/packaging material, and snap the lid on using a rubber mallet.

The lid snaps on, leaving a lid that should only be able to be removed by pulling the plastic band off.  That's why I say they are "peek resistant", because if you have a kid that is savvy enough, he/she may run to Home Depot for more lids, so I guess it depends on if it's worth $1.18 per gift for him/her to peek.

You can take it a step farther too, and get different color buckets from different retailers.

Cost wise, it's about the same as a gift bag and/or paying to have your gifts wrapped (2 of the current men's favorite ways to wrap gifts...the 3rd being the sack it came in).
