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 always buy the silver kraft type paper from John Lewis/Waitrose. I use it for every occasion so I always have suitable paper and it means I only need one roll stored. One less thing to think about.

Mine’s from oxfam and has woodland animals on it

The 10 metre roll's from Asda that cost £1 each. Only gets ripped off and thrown in the bin.

@ElvenElf ive got a few from flying tiger including the lights one someone else suggested. https://flyingtiger.com/en-gb/products/wrapping-paper-with-christmas-flowers-400x70-cm-3057846

they don't make good quality wrapping paper anymore as they're making everything recyclable. M&S used to do the most beautiful paper with glitter or foil detailing.

The best place is WHSmith. They have some really good designs and use biodegradable glitter now.

Also Lidl do some great children's paper and thick quality. They've got frozen, cars, Spider-Man, mickey etc

I usually buy the Kraft rolls from John Lewis in metallic gold or navy/red/forest green and then use velvet ribbons. They are in stock :)

YES. Still regretting it in 2024!!

That's gorgeous OP! I had to get s roll in a hurry and got it from next and needed something that could be used for birthdays too.

Not RTFT but I picked up a couple of rolls at Tiger Copenhagen, alongside some ribbon. It's easily recyclable brown paper based with holly on it.

Yes!!!!!! Think I’m still traumatised from the glitter!! Haha

I really miss paperchase for great paper.
Lidl is good for very young kids wrapping, they seem to do huge rolls so good if there’s a large in size present.
Brown paper with ribbons for me this year but John Lewis have a good choice!

Aldi some gorgeous ones for 89 and 99p. One on brown paper design one white.

Aldi also doing big bags. 2 per pack. They are lovely.

I love the John Lewis peacock print. They've a few papers in dark rich greens and blues which I've gone for this year.

Aldi! I always love the Kraft paper with prints and theirs is lovely this year.

All adult presents are wrapped in reusable fabric bags I have made.

WHSmith

I love all the wrapping paper that posters have shared. I’m the type to purchase the wrapping in November, well before the wrapping paper choice is reduced. I look for a nice pattern, no writing and not cartoonish looking. I also like adding ribbons, it makes it look so festive!

Brown parcel paper 30m for a fiver.
im quite good at calligraphy so brigten up with nicely written labels.

TBH I always find it hard to find any I really like - I want something really Christmassy - so many seem to be wishy-washy, and/or in non Christmassy colours. I don’t want anything boringly ‘tasteful’, either! And pref. with lines on the back to aid cutting out.

Found some that’s more or less right in a garden centre but have yet to check the lines on the back situation.

This is the one I’ve got 🥰.

A plea to please post pictures if you can! It brightens the thread up and saves Googling/following links.

I just use whatever is in the house. The Ops paper is available from Dunelm

Gift bags for me, we re use them so don’t even have to rewrite the labels sometimes. Last year the shop I volunteer in had to bin unsold wrapping paper and gift bags. So I got 30 free gift bags. I did do paper when children were little so they could tear it off.

We're using this paper this year for parents/PIL gifts (evergreen trees from Next).
