Several years ago i bought a few large “commercial” style rolls of wrapping paper. You know, like the ones they have at the bookstore or the wrapping station at the mall. I bought one that is christmassy, one that’s suitable for Hanukkah, one that’s suitable for a baby present, and a few that i just looked as generic wrapping paper (one has colorful frogs climbing all over it, for instance.)

I also have some leftover fancy paper from other sources, and some paper from cleaning out my mom’s apartment.

I wrap neatly, using three bits of tape for a simple rectangular gift. Sometimes i put a ribbon around it or a stick-on bow on the package.

I’ve considered fancier wrapping styles, but haven’t done that in several years. Maybe i ought to this year.
