📦🎁 包み = noun form of 包む tsutsumu, to wrap: the wrapped thing
The kanji 包 has 勹, a wrapping stroke, curled around 己. Drop the -mu from tsutsumu and you get tsutsumi, the wrapped bundle. A furoshiki cloth parcel is a classic 包み.
包 — 勹 wrap + 巳 fetus
包 is a pictograph showing a fetus (巳) wrapped inside a womb (勹, an enclosing shape). The original sense was 'to wrap' or 'enclose,' and it later extended to mean a bundle, package, or bag. It also serves as a phonetic component in many characters like 抱, 泡, and 饱.
