I just use a small amount of tape on the sides to deter peeking! Now I only have to use a small amount of paper each year. So it's saving me time wrapping and creates much less trash on Christmas day!

It's really good quality, some of the other stores is so thin your present 'shows' through it. Better to spend a quarter more and know it will cover well. My absolute FAVORITE paper though is at Hobby Lobby. Expensive yes, about $5 for a big extra long roll and it is by far the best quality I've ever seen (VERY thick) and the designs are really contemporary, lots of pink/green, blue/white and stripes...really nice for the non typical Christmas giver!

I'm able to purchase a roll of wrapping paper there for around $8 and it has lasted me through almost 3 Christmases. It's a HUGE roll. Sorry I don't have the specifics, but if you're going to be at Costco anyway, it's worth checking out their prices.

I have been doing this for years and have enough wrapping paper to last me for the next 2 decades. Take the time to trim the edges for a better look. And feel free to use as many sections as needed for those larger boxes. The only time I don't use it is for a wedding gift.

I used very little wrapping paper this year. Most of my gifts were "wrapped" in handmade bags and drawstring bags I made this summer. I also reversed brown paper grocery bags and used those to wrap shipped items. My goal next year is to not use wrapping paper AT ALL. HI BB!
