where does everyone get theirs
do you stick to one style or have a couple of different
do you do different papers for different children (if you have more than one)

this year i'm gonna do different for my 2. they'll both have a different mix of two styles

i've got my eye on these in wilkos

It depends year to year. This year I want to get two different wrapping papers for gifts from us: Silver and Gold. And I'm thinking Frozen for gifts from Santa, assuming I can find paper with that theme.

I don't do different paper for each girl. Just mix it up as I see fit.
 
i have always loved the traditional Santa type wrapping paper.

i love this https://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/b5/c9/59/b5c959da9d46f2397d0aa964a2296530.jpg
 
We have always done one paper for one kid and another for the other one, that way we wouldn't have to write names on packages and get busted when they recognize our handwriting.
 
I have a huge stash of wrapping paper, about 20 rolls ish, I love it. Everyone gets a mish mash xx
 
I like each person to have all the same paper. Summer has disney princess, Maci has Peppa Pig and their joint presents will be frozen.

I'll buy about ten other rolls for everyone else to wrap with but each persons presents will all be in the same wrap.

It really upsets me if one person has a mismatch if I've run out before I can finish their pile, although I've been known to unwrap all the ones I've done and rewrap them in a paper that I've got enough of haha.
 
I buy cheap wrapping paper! 3 rolls for £1 from Card Factory!
I tend to try and stick to one pattern per household (so BIL, his wife, and the kids all have the same, etc). I expect DD will end up with a mix of wrapping! When we have two children next year, I'll probably do different wrapping for each.
 
For the children I have got a massive roll from Costco 49m and it is reversible so Evan will have his present wrapped one side and Jacob's will be done using the other side!!

i've done that haha!
i dont mind doing an even mix of two styles but i hate hate when theres one or two gifts in a random paper cause i've run out
 
I love the mismatch look so I've purposely bought different ones. I love Next wrapping paper and they do 3 for 2.
 
I love loads of different papers. I've got all my paper already, bought it in the sales after Christmas last year!

I just use brown parcel paper and different coloured ribbons for people. I tend to put blobs of glitter on DD's and her stocking gifts are always in really goudy wrapping paper like you'd find at the North Pole ;)
 
I use brown paper or traditional looking paper. I can't stand paper that has nothing to do with christmas; toy story, cupcakes, disney princess paper. all a huge no no. very paticular about my paper hahah

This is ds paper red bows on the silver paper and silver bows on his red paper
His stocking I buy the packs of sheet paper but the same kinda style just not foil.
oh I love a well wrapped prezzie lol xx
 
I have a different paper for each child, to avoid the need for tags - they just know if it's in their paper, it's for them. They have one unwrapped santa present each and that has a tag, complete with bow and bells, and sits in front of their presents so we can tell whose is whose. I get new paper for them each year, and always get too much. Whatever is left I use for other people's presents the next year.
 
I have adult paper, 1 paper for all the boys for presents from us, and then a big bunch of different papers as the 'Santa' papers. I mix and match the santa ones so all the boys have a couple wrapped in each paper. I put their presents from Santa in separate piles and the ones from us under the tree.
 
I got 4 rolls of frozen paper yesterday and 4 rolls of disney planes for my son. Hoping thats enough but yes I always get different paper for them :) x
 
I've bought brown paper and ribbon for this year :thumbup:
