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.

A gift wrapping comprising:
- a main body, having a central portion and an edge portion, and a draw string mounting portion adjacent and circumferential to said edge portion, said central portion being fabricated entirely from an elastic fabric capable of stretching to twice its unstretched length in all directions;
- a draw string slidably disposed within said draw string mounting portion, said draw string having a first extent and a second extent, said first extent protruding outward from said draw string mounting portion at a first location, said second extent protruding outward from said draw string mounting portion at a second location, said first location being proximate to said second location, said first extent and said second extent being simultaneously displaceable to maneuver said main body between an open position and a closed position and
- decorative trim attached circumferentially to said main body edge portion wherein said decorative trim includes a trailer extending outwardly from said main body, said trailer having a free end.
