We pretty much always wrap gifts in the brown wrapping paper (with string) or use bags.
I'll admit to using gift wrap for most things, although gift bags get pulled out on occasion. |

hehe, if you get a gift from me its probably a gift card and you would be lucky to even get a card with it. This drives my wife crazy but its a waste of money buying all that crap to go with it. I'd rather get a $25 gift card with out all the BS than a $20 gift card with a Hallmark card and all the BS.

Based on the number of years she inhaled that stuff, I'm surprised it didn't put her in an early grave. |

Who uses wrapping paper? I admire you if you do! All I use is gift bags.
