More natural

ギフト用に means 'for a gift.' ラッピング is common in shops, while 包装 is a more general word for wrapping. Use 別々に when you want several items wrapped separately.

Good to know

JNTO notes that many shops in Japan offer gift wrapping for free or for a reasonable fee. Actual wrapping materials, bags, message cards, and prices vary by store.
