Answer 1

I would see if you could get any donations from the different stores.  If not I would go to the Dollar Stores.  

Answer 2

I do Operation Christmas Child through the Samaritan's Purse so the children thing is near and dear to my heart. Bless you for your effort and time.

If I were you, I would contact the paper wrapping companies and ask if the have any runs that are defective or irregular that can be donated. Many times they have them. Contacting them earlier in the season [it's back to school now]  may assure you anything that comes up for their holiday runs.

Answer 3

I wrap everything in newspaper- I think gift wrap is a big waste.

With everyone going green- use newspaper and just stamp it with design like Holly Leaves.  Also look for old fabrics!  

Answer 4

Like a previous poster said...you could call some of the wrapping paper companies and ask for damaged or defective paper. Or you could use newspaper, tissue paper with ribbon. There are many different free or very cheap ways to wrap a gift. Just look around your house and I'm sure you will get many ideas. Hope I helped. Have a great day!!
