In many countries, gifts were traditionally wrapped (包裹). If gifts weren’t wrapped, much of the fun would be gone. 2., the surprise would be lost. So the wish to hid the gift led people to wrap their gifts. Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.

3.. More than 100 years ago, gifts were usually wrapped in heavy brown paper. Before that, cloth was often used. With the development of technology, wrapping paper was produced in the early 1900s. However, it wasn’t as easy to wrap gifts as it is today. That’s because adhesive tape (胶带）wasn’t invented until 1928.
