often we would use the funny papers from the sunday papers to wrap birthday presents
Yes, we did to Alison! Still do sometimes
Funny papers yes, we did the same while I was growing up. Junk mail however, I don’t think I could bring myself to give a gift wrapped up in that lol.
*too
Never tried junk mail but all those Sunday papers are great for wrapping. Just add a little ribbon of wrapping paper for decoration or decorate with a ribbon or bow
