The paper I remember was patterned with christmas scenes but it was really thin a bit like tissue paper but slightly thicker than that. Maybe u can't get it anymore x

I am trying really hard to resist wrapping what I have so far.

I need to wait till the tree is up but my gorgeous paper is calling me.

I love wrapping

I'm planning on spending Christmas Eve surrounded by presents, wrapping paper, ribbons etc. with Christmas music playing & mulled wine wrapping all my presents

Christmas Eve! I like mine packed by Dec and delivered about a week before Xmas to as many as I can - apart from close family.

None of mine are being posted so I have extra wrapping time!

I enjoy wrapping presents. I get great pleasure from buying people gifts and the making them look pretty. Started wrapping last weekend. Finished my Christmas shopping on Friday and today I have wrapped all but my husbands presents ( he was in the room as well). Also wrapped up the presents that my hubby is giving his friends and family. I have drawn the line at wrapping up my presents from my hubby ( much to his disappointment - he hates wrapping.

Hello again folks- can anyone help me?


I've had for a few years an organiser bag that I keep my rolls of paper, cellotape, stash of ribbons in.
It was super cheap and therefore pretty flimsy, but did the job until my other half finally !!!!!!ed the zip with his clumsy ham-fistedness. SIGH.


So I'm on the look out for a new one, that's hopefully more robust. I've found a few online but it's hard to tell if they'll be any better quality or just cheap and dodgy again. So does anyone else have one that they could recommend please?

I've had about 3 wrapping sessions over the last few weeks. Most of the presents are made or purchased and wrapped and put away ready for Christmas. I don't particularly like wrapping presents, so do it in sessions, and while watching something on the iPad.

I am somewhat cack-handed, and do my best, knowing the paper won't stay on the gifts very long, or be very much appreciated.

I am going to make an exception though. I am also giving a gift, very small in size but meaningful, and I am going to wrap it in different sized boxes, just for the fun of watching each wrapped box/layer being opened and the recipient wondering, 'is there going to be anything in here at the end?'

Now I know the majority of the necessary wrapping of other gifts has been done, I can do this box in a box thing, taking my time on the run up to Christmas.

I LOVE wrapping! The sooner I can do it, the better. I even do my mum's!

MSE tip - if you have a costco card (I don't know if other wholesalers have this) you can get massive rolls of paper. I mean, massive. I've managed 2 Christmases so far with one roll and I buy a LOT of presents. Oh, and I still have half a roll left! I think it costs about £10 a roll, but it honestly just keeps on going!
