Am currently virtually housebound due to health issues. I was concerned that I was going to end up with the dregs of the bargain bins of gift wrap since I found JL was all sold out online and I couldn't think where else to shop for it (other than Paperchase but I don't trust myself with credit card in hand on their website). So I have just spent an hour going through my gift wrap supplies and am shocked at how much stuff I have stockpiled over the years. I probably have enough wrap, ribbons, tags and glue dots to last for the next 3 Christmas's let alone this year :o

Anyone else a guilty hoarder? I bet more of you than you care to admit Wink :o

I have half a wardrobe full of wrapping supplies Xmas Blush. I suffer from an addiction not only to pretty wrapping but to bargains and so I will pounce upon with indeacent speed pick up anything on offer! Far more than I will ever get through!

Not an addiction here, but always the feeling that I will run out and then made worse by wrapping paper often being on 3 for 2. Mwant to get one extra roll yesterday but came back with the three........

I do try to get at least one roll a fairly neutral design - so just a shiny gold or silver with ,maybe, swirls on it; then it can be used for birthdays as well.

I've not bought any this year, was determined to use up all the wrapping paper I overbought in the previous 2 years. I've now wrapped everything and still have about 5 rolls left over. Grin

Same as ProfYaffle, I am determined to get by on last year's leftovers. I have deliberately bought small presents so I should have enough Xmas Grin

I have 50 different kinds of paper, there is the paper that family presents get wrapped in ir my dh's family and mine. Then there are the 2 types of paper i use to wrap the ds's tree presents. This year it's cars themed. Ds1 has red and ds2 has blue and my dh has a mix of the 2, then there are the 2 types of paper i use to wrap santa presents in, (so it looks like they came from santa) my 2 children each get a different design. I should have taken shares out in giftwrap.
