rogue1230 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Am I just too early? I checked Walgreens and Hallmark and I am not seeing any really cute wrapping paper. Color Studio still has the the Christmas Light Fa LA LA paper, but that is like 3 years old. OTC had some pretty and really nicely made paper, but not so much this year. Hmmm.....
speeddiva Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I got some Snoopy paper @ Dollar Tree last week, they had a bunch of cute ones.
georgiapeach717 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 i got some yesterday at TRU for my daughter...you know the 2.5 year old who's favorite color is pink, and who crawls around the house meowing all day long and has to sleep on her "kitty bed" (giant hello kitty stuffed pillow) at night....yeah, I found PINK christmas paper with little white cartoon kittens wearing santa hats all over it! (it was kinda pricey though at 3.99 for olly 85 sq feet. Anhow they have the cutest so far that I have seen....then Target after them. :)
peppysfireball Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I've got 12 rolls in my craft room. I buy at the end of season when it's 75% off.
sweetdiggity Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I agree about Dollar Tree. They have some really cute wrapping paper. I just bought a roll of Frosty The Snowman paper, and they also had Spongebob, Snoopy, and some really cute snowman ones.
amyers12345 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Try Michaels or Target.. I've never found any that I like at Wags.
LuvMaerz Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I bought paper on clearance at Target last year. It is white with big red dots! I LOVE it! One year I bought this REALLY cute paper at Hobby Lobby. I wonder if anyone else around here bought some. It looked like denim and had reindeer on it (and I think there were other patterns). It had a somewhat waxy feel to it and the tape would NOT stick! The presents would pop open
allshoppedout Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Love my DOT paper from Target too!!! Looks really good under the tree. I got Spongebob at my Dollar Tree, I like that paper alot, I like vibrant stuff :) No Peanuts there though....bummer...
AudreyNicole Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I got a few rolls at the Dollar Tree, and then bought some more in coordinating colors at Target. I LOVE the one pattern I got at DT. It's red with retro type snowflakes and dots, done in pink,white, light blue and lime green. Doesn't sound that great, but it is cute! They have quite a selection there. GeorgiaPeach, I saw pink kitty Christmas paper at the Dollar Tree, if you need more.
allshoppedout Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Audrey, I saw that paper with the retro colors !!! SO CUTE I have to restrain myself, I have too much paper..... (that is what happens when you buy alot of DVD's or small things for gifts--you don't use much paper.) Was the pink kitty paper HELLO KITTY? I collect HK stuff, I didn't see any at my DT.....
Thumper501 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I saw a cute one at Walmart. Christmas colors, but had paw prints all over it. LOL! Probably what I am getting, since this is our first christmas with our dog. :)
mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I coordinate my wrap and everything matches. I get the good stuff at Hobby Lobby. They have tons of different styles and they all have coordinating patterns to mix and match. I bought DT paper once and I had to double wrap cause I could see threw it..maybe I just got a bad batch?
guilliam Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I bought A Christmas Story wrapping paper and tags last year on clearance :) Can't wait to wrap presents with it Doing the happy dance:gd_not_ri

Isn't it just so cute? I wish I could wallpaper a room with it. The kitty paper was not Hello Kitty. But come to think if it, I think I saw some... At Target I think?
pogiporkchop Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I ordered paper from my kids when they were doing their fundraiser (flat wrap). Still need rolls though...
LuvMaerz Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Okay, gotta go to Dollar Tree and find this retro snowflake/dot paper now! Thanks!
ilgetumipretty Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 target dollar spot 40 sq yds $1I LOVE these rolls of wrapping paper!!! They are the perfect size to wrap a shirt box, etc. I stock up when I see them. They usually even have some that could be used year round for birthdays, etc.
AudreyNicole Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Okay, gotta go to Dollar Tree and find this retro snowflake/dot paper now! Thanks!Rest assured that it will be MUCH easier to find than Zhu Zhu Pets, and it's only $1. It really is such pretty paper. I just love to look at it.
tntsmomie Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I LOVE these rolls of wrapping paper!!! They are the perfect size to wrap a shirt box, etc. I stock up when I see them. They usually even have some that could be used year round for birthdays, etc.Yep, we grabbed 4 rolls and I LOVE that they're short rolls. And they really have a ton of paper on them!
Miss Star Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I found a really cute Elmo paper at Dollar General and one at Dollar Tree, they both had a lot of cute ones to chose from but more at Dollar Tree. Went to Walmart yesterday and they have an entire aisle of cordinating items - tinkerbell, princess, bob the builder and a bunch more but the ultimate one that I will be purchasing IMMEDIATELY if not sooner A CHRISTMAS STORY!!! bags, tags, labels, all kinds of things Oy Vey! It made my day lol
tn20 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I bought all the paper I need last year at 90%+ off! I am the world's worst wrapper... everything looks terrible, so I don't bother buying pretty paper. It'll just draw attention to my ugly wrapping! Last year, I found A Christmas Story paper for DH at 90% off, Disney Princesses for the little girls in our family, and my favorite... 10 rolls of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 80 Sq ft for .10 each! I'm not a big TMNT fan, but I have 3 little boys who'll love it!

She would only shop at our local mall for Christmas gifts because they do free gift wrapping.
tn20 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 My mom hated wrapping. She would only shop at our local mall for Christmas gifts because they do free gift wrapping.:) I actually *like* to wrap gifts... I'm just terrible at it! Its kind of like when a 2 year old gets ahold of fingerpaints and spends hours painting a picture. When its done, its technically a mess, but they had a whole lot of fun doing it. That's me, a 2 year old with fingerpaints. Once, I actually tied my own hair into the ribbon and DH had to remove the present from my head...

That's me, a 2 year old with fingerpaints. Once, I actually tied my own hair into the ribbon and DH had to remove the present from my head... I am the same way. I love to wrap, but they don't look as pretty as they should. Last year I spent 2 days wrapping. I bought some of the $1 Target wrapping paper. Last year I bought my Baby sister Dora christmas paper at the dollar store so I will be back there looking. I usually get it on Black Friday when the stores have them on sale and new shipments.
allshoppedout Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Yep, we grabbed 4 rolls and I LOVE that they're short rolls. And they really have a ton of paper on them!YES, you don't have that long extra piece hanging all the way at end of roll --when it is a long one....that you don't know what might fit it, except maybe a dvd or some books......
allshoppedout Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I bought spongebob at dollar tree $1 for 20 ft. (I know not the best deal) but I liked it. Little bit annoyed to find, almost identical spongebob paper at walmart $ 3.00 for 70 ft, clearly the better deal. . . the Walmart background was like medium green...The dollar store paper was like a lime green... Spongebob even in similar size/position... Walmart also had Christmas story, SPIDERMAN, Dora and frosty 70 ft/3.00 Frosty wasn't that great. . .blue was kind of blah...and SPIDERMAN background was such a dark green you had trouble seeing Spiderman.... I tend to like LIVELY paper. Bright, crisp things...

tn20 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 this is GREAT!!!! lmao!!!LOL- Yeah, but the scary thing is, my DH wasn't even suprised when he saw me with a present tied to my head. I'm not sure what that says about me...
