cleverbffool Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 What style, color, theme,or brand of paper will you use this year?
bugsette Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 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 Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Whatever I like, and that I can find coordinating bows and ribbon for. I usually go for for that kind of style.
Bunniq Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Whatever is the cheapest. The kids don't care.
cotejb Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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. Michelle
codeblue Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Whatever was bought on clearance after Christmas last year. I do however wrap Santa gifts in Santa paper.
misshayley Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 The paper that I bought last year after Christmas.
able Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Whatever was left over from last year and whatever we got on clearance from last year as well..:)
shopping mom Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 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 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 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. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/JeninPA/goats555.jpg This takes hours to set up,lol.

There are always those with tags that magically disappear when you wrap so far in advance. Thanks!

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 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 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

KayTee Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 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 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 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 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 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.
