I want to (for once, just bloody ONCE) be sodding organised with my wrapping, not have to do with non matching scruffy bin end rolls from sodding bloody tesco on the night before Xmas Eve rant rant rant

ahem

so I've bought lovely cream/gold ribbons from the garden centre Hmm with the intention of wrapping all my gifts in brown paper, and they'll all look just peachy under the tree blah blah blah

for long and boring reasons, mostly living in the cuntry (yes yes I know, old joke but still!) I am doing an Amazon Christmas for the bulky/heavy stuff so my question, Christmas Mavens, is this:

which blasted blinking brown bloody paper is best, can you link me to reccomendations please please please?

Thank you

One crappy Mama

Well you need to go for quite a thick paper so you can't see anything through it. Something like this. Amazon also do it in 20m lengths if you have loads of pressies to wrap.

You'll need to strong tape too.
