Low cost, memorable wrapping paper
Posted by tom | Nov 24, 2007Hope you didn't buy too much wrapping paper yesterday! I came across a post on the Advent Conspiracy which reminded me you can wrap gifts in newspaper (the comics are great for a little color!) or paper bags (when you can find them!). My Aunt Susan has been using comics for years, for a variety of gift-giving times . . . love catching up on the stories. You can see how out of touch I am in this area. I think that Theresa gets her wrappping paper after-season when it's really cheap or at Goodwill after it's gone past the original purchaser's taste. But wrapping with newspaper, paper bags, and comics would conserve resources during our current family budget crunch.
