Use a brown paper bag. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Wrap it in lots of tinfoil, and then wrap that in lots of bubble wrap so the tinfoil doesn't tear.

I would recommend using lots of paper, as plastic makes things worse, but really I don't recommend shipping components without a anti static bag at all. If you are ground shipping, the paper may work, but if you are doing air then forget it.

They aren't very expensive to buy but I would wrap it in pink bubble wrap pr foam if you have any that stuff is also anti-static. Alternatively you can wrap it in a a paper bag or carton as NannerBeans suggested

Wrap it in brown paper similar to a cut of meat from a butcher.

wrapping paper can be glossy sometimes and you don't want that. If it's not glossy then I guess there's no harm.

Bro, if you want to keep your hardware safe use tinfoil.  It is better at absorbing static discharge than even an anti-static bag,

Not those little tighty whities, but the extra extra large pair.
