Save on gift wrapping paper - and reuse !

Possibly not a real instructable in a strict sense, just an advice on good resources for gifts wrapping paper.
And a chance to wish you all a merry Christmas.
Buon Natale.

Step 1 Decisions, decisions !

The resource is in this case the National Geographic magazine. It provides great maps I want to save. Sometimes they happen not be be very interesting to me but always have a great look and composition so they make a great source for wrapping paper. I just have to find out the one I don't want to save.

I love the idea of using a recycled Paper for wrapping. But sometimes I dont have the right one..this is when I use my old "trick".I take one of my son's drawing and print it. here's a few more printed wrapping papers samples.
