What type of paper will you use this year?

[cleverbffool]

What style, color, theme,or brand of paper will you use this year?

[bugsette]

well a few weeks ago one of the grocery stores Tops had paper for 50 cents a roll for 100 sq ft so I picked up 10 of those so I think I'm set

[f1rstclass]

Whatever I like, and that I can find coordinating bows and ribbon for. I usually go for for that kind of style.

[conj]

whatever I got on clearance last year :)

[Bunniq]

whatever I got on clearance last year :)

Same here.

 

Our theme colors are going to be gold and red. I was able to find a roll of gold paper, and gold paper with red stripes last year at Target.

 

Next year, yes already planning, will be baby blue and white. So I hope to find paper to match at this year's clearance sales.

[krissy72]

Whatever is the cheapest. The kids don't care.

[cotejb]

I'll probably use what I have left over from last year. I might buy some more but am not specific. I just pick what I think is pretty :)

[d56nut]

I have two sets of paper...one set is all the clearance stuff I buy the day after Christmas. The other set is from Current Catalog...which I also bought on sale but it's still more expensive than the Wal Mart stuff.

 

As for theme's....a little bit of everything! I have Rudolph paper, Santa paper, Candy Cane paper, Scooby Doo paper, Elmo paper, solid foil paper, John Deere paper, scenic paper, etc., etc., etc.

 

I do my best to have no two packages in the same paper. I try to make each present have paper on it that pertains the person receiving it.

Whatever was bought on clearance after Christmas last year. I do however wrap Santa gifts in Santa paper.

[misshayley]

The paper that I bought last year after Christmas.

[able]

i have none left from last year and didnt get any on sale after xmas either. so whatever i get someone to pick up for me

[StephanieD]

I don't buy a particular brand or anything. I just buy whatever catches my eye. I do have a dislike though. I don't usually like paper with characters on it like Elmo, SpongeBob, etc. The only character I'll allow on my wrapping paper is Santa. I may loosen that rule a bit when I have children. LOL

[ccarson1972]

I bought my paper last year after Christmas. I don't use anything particular, but do try to get characters or some sort of kiddie type paper along with some kind for grown-ups as well. I always use Santa paper for presents from Santa. My oldest loves penquins and luckily I found him some paper with them on it clearacned last year. All of his presents will be wrapped in that most likely.

[Firemansgal311]

No particular brand or style here either, just whatever was left from last year and whatever impulse buys I make this year.

 

But, we have to have a different Santa themed (has to have Santa on it)paper every year. Only Ho Ho gifts get wrapped in it and if there is any left it is destroyed to prevent "finding out"

[bayhaysay]

We won't have a theme. The kids will pick out their wrapping paper. Each of their presents are wrapped in "their" paper. It makes it alot easier on Christmas morning. Everything else will be wrapped in whatever I have leftover from last year or whatever I find on sale.

[elena_398]

I bought all my paper last year when it was 75% off at Walmart last year. I have some character ones for my daughter and some other rolls for everyone else.

[smangham]

I usually do a theme, too....I've done the red and gold...and the blue and silver...and then last year I did jewel tones. I think I'm going to do the jewel tones again this year.

[tiff_noah]

I am a snowman fan so I usually stick to them on my papers. My kids are old enough now that I will use Santa paper for the santa gifts.

[Dizzy Devil]

whatever I got on clearance last year :)

HA! I agree...

 

And call me lazy, but "Santa" doesn't wrap presents at our house. Everything else is wrapped in whatever I bought last year...:)

[momof5plus1hubby]

Okay you all might think I am nuts but I am doing a theme for each person.

 

Example

My oldest DS has gingerbread men

DS 7 Santas

DD 5 Snowmen

DS 2 Elves

and DD 1 year is getting Angels

 

I am also using blue snoflakes for my mom.

This is less hassle trying to figure out who is whos if it doesn't have a name tag. Plus then the kids actually look at the wrapping paper LOL

[ssf]

Whatever was left over from last year and whatever we got on clearance from last year as well..:)

[shopping mom]

As my kids got older that good at figuring out what was in the package because they knoew I try tried to get them what they asked for. So for a few years I wrapped everything in the same paper added peenies to the box for noise and instead of a name I assigned everyone a color and only I knew who each color was. They kids loved it and no one knew what they were getting. This year I am using whatever was on sale, and DD3 is not good at guessing.

[jeninpa]

I use a WIDE assortment of characters, snowmen, & santa. I like lots of color and for the kids not to know which gift is theirs until they read the tag,lol. Here is a kinda crappy example since my good camera was broke and I had to use a piece of junk for Christmas,lol.

Great idea. I think I am going to have to give it a try. There are always those with tags that magically disappear when you wrap so far in advance. Thanks!

that is an extremely good idea

 

 

 

 

I will be using the paper that I got on sale about 5 years ago...lol.... One of my local grocery stores had it on clearance for about .10 per roll. You can bet I bought a heck of a lot of it.

[elena_398]

No real theme. Usually character ones as stated, but also I try to buy nice decorative paper for the adults I buy for. Mix it up I guess

LOL, is that the biggest Christmas tree you could find?

[KayTee]

I think wrapping paper is icing on the cake. I love cartoon character paper and the kids love seeing it. Each child has there own theme or two. I just have to remember to buy some for the adults too!

[becca0884]

I picked up some wrapping paper on clearance last year. I am thinking it was Hello Kitty themed. (I'm too lazy to go dig it out and look, LOL)

[Gporter34]

Since I have two trees, I will use 2 kinds of paper. I am decorating the white tree with pink, I will probably use silver paper with pink ribbon. That's where all of the girls' presents will be. For the green tree I use traditional ornaments, so I will use plain brown shipping paper, with red, green, and plaid ribbon for all of the boys' gifts.
