Sorry no, but there are some lovely sticky labels out there and (free) templates for printing your own labels if you are unable to find any paper. Last year I wrapped ours in plain solid colour paper with a printed label on each one and they looked very authentic.

We always buy specific paper from FC. Ds never sees the roll and we wrap all other pressies to other people in different paper.

Sorry, I haven't either, but I do the same as Crikeyblimey

You could get it made bespoke, e.g. www.domandgeri.com/Christmas-Wrapping-Paper/1-12/.

from santa

I've just done the stocking presents (from F.C) using this pack from M&S.

Red and plain paper is festive and traditional. The twine is especially good for cylindrical presents wrapped like crackers for tying the ends, the stickers are lovely, "handmade by elves" "Santa's workshop approved", "no peeking" etc and it's also nice thick paper with a grid on the back so even I can't go wrong cutting it Grin

I've kept some stickers back for the Elf on the Shelf and Christmas Eve hamper too and ordered two more packs for years to come

I always use gold wrapping paper for the 'from Santa' gifts. Makes then stand out from all the rest.

ramonaquimby · 13/11/2012 11:11

I normally get my 3 children to choose a roll themselves for Santa to wrap presents in and it's left out on the 24th.I buy double and wrap their stocking presents in advance.

MrsPresley · 13/11/2012 11:12

I got some from Boots last year with matching tags.

White with From Santa in red.

Cant see it online though.

ramonaquimby · 13/11/2012 11:12

And because they all choose a different rOll I don't need to use labels!

Anythingforabitofpeace · 13/11/2012 11:15

Thanks so much for that Next link, definately going to get this Grin

spookysal · 13/11/2012 12:24

neverquitesure Where did you find the templates?

neverquitesure · 13/11/2012 18:05

I designed my own labels last year but google images is your friend! It's where I stole got my inspiration from.

I just searched for printable "from santa" (and you are going to have to either resign yourself to Santa instead of Father Christmas or be prepared to do some editing as it's mostly American sites) and found these and these, but there are lots more variations, mainly using the words printable, santa, christmas, stamps, tags, labels and stationary.

neverquitesure · 13/11/2012 18:07

...or stationery even. Although it is nice when they stay still too.

spookysal · 13/11/2012 18:53

Thanks for the links off to look at them now!

will have to try and edit Santa though somehow. I will spend Christmas morning twitching otherwise.

Just asked 5yo dd1 if she could remember Father Christmas wrapping paper (no chance!). Red with purple bows was the reply I tried to convince her of gold bows but she wasn't having it. Does this mean I have to do purple bows?? My fault for asking I guess.

neverquitesure · 13/11/2012 19:14

Purple bows? Lord no! Although it might look quite nice Do Selfridges use the same gift wrap each year? I think not.

laurenamium · 22/11/2012 08:14

www.notonthehighstreet.co.uk has some, and also "wrapped by elves" etc Smile
