What wrapping paper have you gone for?

[ElvenElf]

I am very fussy about wrapping paper and the only one I found I liked this year is out of stock, it was a double sided Dunelm one

I haven't found another I even remotely like. I love wrapping and using ribbon to make it all look amazing.

I haven't really searched yet but in the two shops I've looked (b and m and Sainsbury's) I couldn't find any that I liked. Really boring and unappealing in both !

I've got this and it's lovely thick quality paper

I used to be fussy, this year most of the presents under my tree will be wrapped in Spiderman wrapping paper. 🙃

adult presents will be in plain brown wrapping paper, I then use my stamps to decorate them. Waterstones had some pretty and smart looking wrapping paper in store at the weekend if anyone’s still hunting for some nice stuff.

I just bought some I picked up in card factory. Didn’t know there was a decision over it 🥴

Always used to get mine from paper chase , finished that supply now
Need to find something else

That reversible paper is lovely and such a good idea

I did get some animal themed from the British garden centre

I always use brown parcel paper and the kids potato print it. Well they're teens now but still like doing it

Whatever’s stored in the roof from other years so I have no idea.
Agree with boulevards brown paper we used to do this when our boys were little and I still get that itch every year and do a few.

That is lovely, I got some very similar but only one sided in sainsburys a couple of years back under the Habitat label. Might be worth a look.

I found some lovely wrapping paper by Cambridge Imprints at the local garden centre which is gorgeous but bloody expensive!

I haven’t looked elsewhere but will probably wrap the children’s gifts in something cheaper and save the nicer stuff for friends and family.

OP I clicked your link and added to basket and it seems to add it, is it back in stock? It seems to be click and collect only though, no delivery.

I bought this paper from Ocado/Waitrose. I already have some left over from last year, so I didn't really need to buy any 😬

I use newspaper.

Something big like the Observer or saturday Times is good, as there are plenty of topical photos just begging for witty captions.

Also very good from a recycling perspective 🙂

I have been acquiring reusable bags and also attempting to make a passable attempt using cloth / furoshiki. I hate the piles of waste we used to have on xmas day, and it's pretty easy to store these wraps and bags - they fold down to whatever shape works best for storage, unless leftover rolls of paper gift wrap.

But, I do like brown paper and colourful ribbons.

Some very disappointing paper, labelled as luxury in Boots. One roll is Kraft paper so that's ok the rest is far from luxurious.

Has anyone seen any plastic-free (ideally Kraft / brown paper style) Leopard print? Nothing too cartoony, just a realistic "classic Leopard" for a kid who really loves leopards...

A bit off the thread, but did anybody buy that glittery reindeer one from Tesco a few years ago that was basically a glitter bomb equivalent?

It had so much glitter you could hardly tape presents up and I had glitter for months afterwards everywhere!

Recycling companies were fuming as everyone tried to put it with paper/card Recycling which rendered everything else in the bins not recyclable.

It was very pretty though ...

I've got M&S stuff, but I do love the paper from a small company called bright stem. It's really thick and gorgeous patterns. Here -

They have some wrapping paper at RSPB that’s really lovely, but not double sided

I got this string lights paper from Flying Tiger. Just in time it seems, as it’s now sold out!

Surely you made a decision when you chose which one to buy in card factory ? Or did they only have one type ?

It's the 2nd of December, I haven't even started thinking about wrapping paper. That is way down the list!

We got a selection from Sostrene Grene, including this one:

I got this one from amazon. Christmas wrapping paper. I loved the colour and it just feels very christmassy to me.
