How to Wrap Outdoor Furniture for the Holidays: Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas for By the Yard


Give the gift of comfort this season—with a little holiday magic in the presentation.
Looking for fun, clever ways to gift wrap outdoor furniture this holiday season? Whether you’re surprising a loved one with a handcrafted By the Yard Adirondack chair or wrapping a dining set that will host summer memories for years to come, we’ve got you covered. Wrapping large, high-quality outdoor furniture can feel intimidating, but with a little creativity, you can turn your patio present into the highlight of the holidays.
Here are five unique and festive ways to wrap your By the Yard furniture and make your holiday gift-giving unforgettable.
1. Hide It in Plain Sight with a Cozy Blanket Fort
If your goal is to keep the surprise a secret, skip the traditional wrapping paper and build a nostalgic holiday fort. Use cozy blankets, some garland, and a string of twinkle lights to create a magical holiday “hideaway” around the gift. This approach is perfect for kids, or kids at heart, and it builds anticipation for the big reveal. It’s also a fun way to decorate your living space for the season while keeping your outdoor furniture gift concealed.
2. Go Big with a Giant Wrapped Surprise
If you love the dramatic effect of big gifts under the tree, go for a bold wrapping job. Use butcher paper or holiday gift wrap to cover the main surfaces of your By the Yard furniture—like the arms, legs, or backrest. Be generous with ribbon or even tulle to give it a polished look. While the shape may give it away, the real surprise comes when they discover just how durable, sustainable, and beautiful their new patio piece truly is.
3. Disguise It as Holiday Decor
Another creative gift wrapping idea for patio furniture is to decorate it like a holiday centerpiece. Wrap the furniture in garland, hang ornaments from the arms, and string lights around the frame to turn your gift into a festive statement piece. If it’s indoors, pile other wrapped presents on and around it for extra camouflage. It becomes a functional part of your decor and saves the best surprise for last.
4. Create an Outdoor Reveal with a Bow on Top
Since By the Yard furniture is weather-resistant and built to be outdoors year-round, why not create an outdoor reveal? Top the furniture with a giant red bow and lead your loved one outside for a surprise they won’t forget. Add a blanket and mug of hot cocoa to make the moment even cozier. It’s a holiday memory in the making and a great way to highlight the all-season durability of your By the Yard piece.
5. Make It a Mystery with a Box-in-a-Box
Still waiting on your furniture delivery? Or opting for a By the Yard gift card? No problem. Take a photo of the furniture or enclose the gift card in a small box. Then put that box inside another, and another. Wrap each layer individually to create a fun unwrapping experience that builds suspense. It’s a classic holiday trick that’s perfect for surprising someone with a big gift that’s still on the way.
