Once my stash got caught in the rainstorm and I was told I could replace my giftwrap, I went out and bought a few rolls. The three tallest rolls being new, as well as the hidden stripe behind the blues. The three solid blues and the silver on silver dot were already here inside the house, for use as birthday and wedding wraps. The blue with green trees and green-on-green were at the bottom of the old holiday stash, and not quite as affected.
I'm thinking I'm going to use the damaged wrap as box stuffing/etsy packaging for the rest of the season, to recycle it.
Christmas 2012, Brian used painters tape, duck tape, and a mix match assortment of ways to wrap gifts this year.
I like to wrap presents. I know I'm supposed to feel bad about wasting paper, but I do a few things to mitigate my guilt. For example, I reuse paper - be it wrapping or not. This particular gift for the lovely-bride-to-be was wrapped in a Canadian Tire flyer and was affixed with a lovely grosgrain ribbon (which I save and reuse). It still looked classy I was told.
Well of course it did. All my gifts look classy.
Can you find the clover of four leaves on the wrapping paper of the toffee of milky?
This means a very lucky thing.
Just wrapping up some presents for the student tutor. One's a brick (to weight the box down or 'build her dream home') and the other's a USB fish tank! All put into one big shoe-box (which was wrapped later!) - I put a proper tag on that one too!
This pic was shooting bubbles using dawn dish-washing liquid, a clear Pyrex casserole dish, and back-lighting. I used wrapping paper to bounce the light off of to reflect in the bubbles.
Spent a good part of today wrapping presents. I am trying to stay on top of our Holiday prep since I have some surgery scheduled on the 17th...Still waiting for an Amazon order, and I have to do a little more baking!

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis
i was randomly going through some drawers in my old room at my parents' place, and found this folded sheet of sanrio wrapping paper. so precious.
A terminal dose of miserable self pity has prevented me making the cards I had planned on making but I did make my own wrapping paper. These were made with good old fashioned brown parcel paper - the stuff you'd use to patch up the head of a Jack who's just broke his crown falling down the hill - potatoes and some kind of gouachey paint - but not the gouache watercolours I normally use. It's part of an ancient yorkshire custom (I don't live in yorkshire now but spent much of my life there and am a naturalised yorkshireman ) known as 'spending as little money as possible'. This tradition goes back to antiquity and has often caused the word yorkshireman to be uttered in the same sentence as 'tightarse' and 'short arms and deep pockets'.
To another TIE Interceptor set. Instead of having two of them to fly around the house, though, he'd like to exchange it for other Star Wars related merch.
