Do you use left over wrapping paper

Just that really, I like to use one paper for DD, different one for DS and again a different one for DH but just checked so see what I have left from previous years and I have quite a few different rolls left so don’t know whether to buy more (which feels wasteful) or just do a random mix for them all this year.

Ds's all get a dofferent paper do I don't have to label anything. I don't use any left overs usually because there isn't enough left to do all one child's presents the next year and I won't mix.

I recycle them.

I keep using other papers for family etc but not the kids.

We only do stockings gifts in set paper, so everything else just gets used up. However, I do tend to have a "theme" colourwise for wrapping, so stuff from previous years that doesn't match or DH has bought I use up on gifts that won't go under our tree, like the ones for my DNs, or posted to godchildren.

Normally, most matches as I tend to be unimaginative and go for white or brown paper background with predominately red and gold paper. Took me a while to realise I just don't like silver or blue themed paper! Grin

After reading all your replies I think I’ll stick with doing each DC different and use last years left over for DH and other family members.
