2 pass the parcels, 21 children, so will probably wrap a few extra layers in case. Small sized middle pressie, sweets in other layers. I usually do wrapping paper, wondering if should do newspaper, which do you use and why?

Newspaper is cheaper. They won't care, it will get ripped off.

As long as it's not page 3 of The Sun, I'd go for newspaper Wink

When we were kids, mum did the outer layer in wrapping paper and the last layer, the rest were newspaper.

Would they not get dirty fingers off newspaper?

Newspaper, kids don't care

Newspaper

Same as acsec. Except DD does the inner two layers with wrapping paper so that the penultimate unwrapper thinks they're getting the prize but they get a forfeit (forfeits in some of the layers is good for older kids).

Ideally with the newspaper alternate sheets of pink FT with any other newspaper so its easy to ensure only one layer at a time comes off Grin
