Gift wrap with cutting lines on reverse

I'm sure there's such a thing, and it will really help with the wrapping up because I can't cut in a straight line to save my life after a few baileys and liqueur truffles

Anyone know where I can get some from?

The gift wrap I got in Ikea last year had grids on the back. Great designs too, but actual quality was rubbish!

M&S did last year too. I've just finished mine so had to make do with wrapping the last few presents with paper from the local newsagents which was double the price and half the quality. Wish I'd realised that aldi had some too!

2nd Aldi, decent enough quality and was pleasantly surprised to find it had grid lines too.

Thanks everyone. This year all the presents will be beautifully wrapped and nobody will guess I've enjoyed a Christmas topple while I was doing it! Of to the shops now and plenty of options so I'll definitely find something.

I invented the lines on the back of wrapping paper back in 1986. Sold it to a company called Artfaire at the time. All the paper companies have it now. I can't blow my horn too loud, though. All I did was copy the idea from shelf paper... lol
