Where to buy packs of mixed xmas wrap paper?

Has anyone seen the packs of christmas wrapping paper that have one sheet each of 10 or so mixed designs on them? I have been looking but have not seen them anywhere.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    I was looking for those but didnt see any so bought some rolls from the 99p shop. I thought the range of paper in Tesco and Asda was much reduced this year.

    I think places like The Works and Card Factory might be worth a try for these.

    I agree that the supermarkets range of wrap etc is far smaller this year, nothing that appealing either sadly! Even my glitter obsessed dd1 decided to just get the red and white value paper in the end,lol.
  • I've had exactly the same problem trying to find this paper - I use it for my son's stocking presents.

    Have tried Savers, Sainsburys and the Pound shop - none have any.

    I did see in a Waitrose that they had some, but stupidly didn't pick any up, thinking I could get it from my local waitrose - who don't have any.

    If anyone does find any - please update this thread - am going out tomorrow to have another hunt, so fingers crossed.

    my poundmart has these, also i've seen them for sale by some charity shops (sorry can't remember which one) they were produced for them though, not donations so maybe the cancer charity (they are the ones that do a lot of their own things, right?) i'm also fairly certain i've seen this at semi-chem
  • If you're prepared to risk ebay, I've just bought 2x 10 sheets for a reasonable price of £1.50 each - it says 1st class mail so have added a msg asking for them to please be posted tomorrow, here's the link:

    have seen them in homebargains for 49p a packet also in wilko's but i think they were 99p
  • My mum bought some from Wilkos, packs of 10 sheets and the pack were on offer at 3 for £2 bit of a bargain! Really nice designs too.
  • Costco, had some I think it was £8.99 for 100 sheets.
