wrapping paper and ribbon
*This article has been updated for accuracy and additions November, 2019

I think I love holiday wrapping paper and ribbon almost as much as I love the presents! Here are some online sources that you may not have come across.

Here’s a fun gift wrap fact:  44,000 miles of new ribbon (more than enough to wrap around the planet) that shoppers wouldn’t have to buy if we all reused just 2 feet of ribbon from previous years.  (From Real Simple)

Christmas bags are by far the fastest and easiest way to gift wrap!  This site has a great selection ranging in price from $4.50 – $8.00.  And, we love the scalloped tissue paper!  $6.00 for 24 sheets.
