CG480 Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 So do you open it careful and save it to use it again or do you just rip it open. I admit I do save some but for the most I just rip and throw.
Gator Pam Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Ditto!! Unless it's really pretty paper that looks pricey...
bigjimslade Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Rip and Go for us as well. Near my parents house they now have .99 Only Stores and so we have wrapping paper for the whole State of Texas since my mom buys alot since it is cheep.
First Lady Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 I have over 50 rolls of paper I got a few years for free. So we rip and toss! Now boxes, we save those!
DramaQueenLucy Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 I save the boxes too but the paper no way the kids destory it all giant piles before we are all done
Guest koby Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 I only save the gift gags even though I'll buy at least 25 more at Traget on the 26th
lisamag Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 same here if it's really pretty i'll save it but for the most part just tare through. i don't get wrapped gifts anymore so i'm usually yelling at the kids just tare it open, lol. i had some beautiful boxes saved but there was a flood in my basement and they got all wet and in the garbage they went, so there went that.
mom_of2boyz Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 I save the boxes and bows, the paper get destroyed.
sbixby Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Boxes get saved (if they survive the unwrapping), gift bags definitely but wrapping paper is ripped to shreds and thrown hither and yon to create that most wonderful carpet of used gift wrap that appears at the end of every Christmas Morning.
smangham Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Rip and go nowadays....used to be ever so careful and fold and reuse in the lean years, though....:)
cotejb Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Rip and throw away...I buy mine either at the day after christmas sale or at the dollar store so its no big deal to get more...
ms_mckenna Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Rip and go ... I did buy some WWE paper that I had hoped to save but I should of known better. We do always save boxes though. I had to buy new ones this year because they had all finally died lol.
CrayZMama80 Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Everything gets ripped here..paper, boxes all of it. Hubby uses way too much tape on everything that he wraps. There are sometimes he even uses duct tape for sealing boxes shut so as to prevent snooping!
sevirj Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Rip the paper, save the boxes. And bows, they don't stand a chance.
candlesbytammy1 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 ripped to shreds here, a few boxes saved. I have too much wrapping paper, enough to last at least the next 5 years or so
Melissa Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Rip it open! The only things I save are gift bags.
jonesy Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 When we cleaned out my Mother-in-law's house she had a stack of saved paper about 10 inches tall in a box. She had never reused it and the paper at the bottom of the box was falling apart. :)
laffnatu Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Everything is ripped and thrown away around here except for gift bags.
bayhaysay Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 rip paper and most of the time boxes, save bags You wouldn't believe the number of used gift bags I have.
