Anybody seen any plain wrapping paper for a good price (ie. not £1.99 for 2m!) ... preferably silver or white?

    Tesco had some, think it was £1.99 for 5m or 3 for £5. But if you want white just buy a roll of drawing paper or wallpaper liner :money:

    Thanks everyone :) Might check out the tesco value stuff, red will go okay with my existing silver and black ribbons and bows :) .Drawing paper or wallpaper liner is a great idea too, thanks :money:

    I usually get silver wrapping paper from Asda and it's about 14p per roll! :)
    The more one gets to know of men, the more one values dogs.

    If you want to add a bit of glitz, Tesco currently have gorgeous white paper with silver detailing - one pattern is a snowflake one, the other is a more intricate pattern. I just love it!

    Sainsburys basic silver foil = 30p for 10m
    Only about half as wide as paper.
    Recyclable though!

    I got a back of three last year from Poundland - shiny silver, shiny gold, and shiny red.
