CG480 Posted December 24, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbixby Posted December 25, 2006 Share 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.

CrayZMama80 Posted December 25, 2006 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy Posted December 30, 2006 Share 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
