ABSTRACT:
A gift wrap material for wrapping boxes, packages and the like, including a sheet of material having scored lines, a tray-like member disposed against an underside portion of the sheet, the tray-like member having at least first and second recesses therein with the first recess being disposed under the scored lines. At least one balloon, preferably four ballons with one ballon being larger than the other three balloons, is disposed in the first recess in a deflated condition, a compressed air or helium tank for inflating the balloon or balloons is disposed in the second recess, and a valve member for releasing the compressed air or helium from the tank is also disposed in the second recess so that the tank can be released to inflate the balloon or balloons. A string is connected to the valve member for actuation thereof, and extends through an opening in the sheet so that when a person pulls on the string, the valve member releases the tank to permit the inflation of the balloon or balloons which then break through the sheet at the scored lines when being inflated, where the balloon or balloons become fully inflated on an outer side of the sheet. Preferably, the tray-like member is positioned on a box cover so that the first and second recesses of the tray-like member are inserted into a cut out formed in the box cover.
