BTW...my parents always wrapped the gifts in the funny papers. Why spend more money?
Sometimes I will wrap one or two presents in the Sunday funny papers, attatch a bow, and it looks great...
Another way I sometimes like to wrap a few presents, is with brown bags, cut up in sheets, from the grocery store...then I might tie a cord of fuzzy twine around it...and add a few pinecones or nuts or leaves that I find outdoors...
My aunt likes to use the brown paper bag method, but instead of using pinecones or nuts as decorations, she likes to use a variety of pics stamped on from the many rubber stamps from her collection...considering the 1000s of various stamps available in the marketplace, and the wide variety of colored inks used in the stamp pads, she usually comes up with very beautiful packages, which convey exactly the message she wishes to send...
Often, if one cannot find the wrapping paper they wish, sometimes creativity can take over, and you can wind up making your own unique wrapping paper...
