Little post office type shops usually. Or those shops that have mops and buckets and random things outside?

Asda do some for 16p a roll, think it is 2 metres, quite a nice design on it and in our Asda comes in red or silver.

By some Brown packing paper and wrap presents in it tied with red yarn. It actually looks really good

I am going to get the 16p paper, only because it gets ripped off and binned anyway

you have to be careful buying really cheap wrapping paper as they rip easily whilst wrapping the pressies up.

The 16p Asda one is only 2m long, it doesn't last long. I've got 2 rolls,each about 15/20 metres for £1.99 each at Wilkinsons

Brown paper, pages with full-page pics from Sunday supplements, or aluminium foil! Done well, they all look fab.

Brown paper, a set of stamps from a craft shop (or potatoes) and some paint/ink/whatever. Then get the children to work/play on it.
