Where to Buy Wrapping Paper
The perfect wrapping paper can be easier or trickier to find depending on the time of year it is. During the holiday season, we’re practically tripping over it when we’re out running errands, but during less festive times of year, it can be a struggle to find the perfect design to match a specific occasion.
If you’re looking for wrapping paper in order to wrap a gift for an upcoming occasion, here are the most common places to shop.
Grocery/Big Box Stores
Most grocery and big box stores sell wrapping paper, usually in their stationery aisle. Just keep in mind that here is where you’ll likely run into non-eco-friendly options that are made with plastic laminates, meaning that if you shop here, you have a good chance of ending up with wrapping paper that isn’t recyclable.
Pharmacies
Pharmacy stores are the other location where you’re likely to find wrapping paper in the stationery aisle – usually the same wrapping paper as what you’d find in grocery and big box stores. Of course, that means that this is also a place where you’re likely to end up with wrapping paper made from synthetic materials, which isn’t exactly friendly toward the environment.
Stationery Stores
There are also stationery stores that specialize in paper goods like wrapping paper, along with ribbons, gift bags, tissue papers and so on. These stores can vary in terms of their selection, as well as the quality – mainly, whether the paper is all natural, or synthetic. There are chain stationery stores, like Hallmark (the creator of modern-day wrapping paper), and boutique stores.
Home Supply Stores
Stores that specialize in home supplies often have an area for gift-wrapping supplies, most likely because they know that many items we buy in these stores are going to be given as gifts.
Retailers that Do Gift-Wrapping in Store
Of course, many retailers do have gift-wrapping supplies and will wrap a gift for you – whether you buy in person or online – which can come in handy if you aren’t satisfied with your gift-wrapping skills. Keep in mind that a lot of these stores only offer this service during the holiday season, since it requires extra staffing.
Online Boutiques
Lastly, you can find online stores that specialize in wrapping paper, like Waterleaf Paper. This is a great choice since you’re likely to find the best variety of designs, colors and patterns, as well as sizes, materials and more. This is also where you’re more likely to find wrapping paper made with natural, high-quality materials, as well as materials that are sustainable and overall, environmentally friendly.
