Endless Roll.

It is always frustrating to buy a roll of wrapping paper and find that it will only wrap 3 or 4 small packages. It is more amazing that the roll I bought 3 yrs ago is still not close to running out. After purchasing it rom Costco 3 Decembers ago, along with one other, I proceeded to wrap every other gift with this paper. It's heavy duty, and very pretty in blues with silver snowflakes. Hopefully no one on my list will recognize it in the middle of the crumpled paper on Christmas day. I'm fairly certain that I did not spend more than $8. on it, and highly doubt I will ever trip over such a bargain again. After a few of the adult version of my rum balls I don't mind using last seasons paper either.

Oh man - only 3 years? You have at least another 10 to go! I bought one about 8 years ago from Costco and it's still got more than half left!

If it covers the gift it's good. That's all that matters. I don't keep track of who wraps what gift with what. In fact Rien has a rule: rip, bend, fold, tape. Doesn't matter how it looks in the end. Sometimes it looks pretty nasty, but it gets the job done!
