Escape Room Inspired Gift Ideas

Have you ever wanted to give a thoughtful gift but couldn't think of anything besides a card or cash (which are great gifts)? Or perhaps you just want to add some spice?

How about some wrapping paper adventure?

I'm really proud of this super unique DIY gift idea! It's a fun gift to design and to receive, if you're a fan of escape rooms and puzzles!

I like to tailor the puzzle clues to whoever is receiving the gift to make sure they have a good time. We also discuss how to use combination locks for prank gifts or white elephant exchanges, and lastly, (SPOILER ALERT) how to tweak the false bottom idea for repeat gift recipients.

Escape Room Style Gift

This is the puzzle I used in the video. Hint: pay attention to the colors.

Combination Locks

Want to give a prank gift? Or attend a white elephant?

Slap a combination lock on it! And add a puzzle to open the lock!

I can make you a Sudoku with your special code! Or for a special date. Get it on Etsy!
