It's getting close to the time of presents and surprises. How gentle are you with wrapping paper after you've unwrapped your present?

I used to always fold mine until I got my wrapping paper stash out for this year and noticed that if I keep doing it, I'll never catch up on using up the saved ones. So this year, I'll probably "crumple it into a ball and throw out" any wrapping paper that I acquire. ;)

Id like to say, I wrapped it and re-used, but who bothers when there are other presents waiting!

If it's pretty I add it to my ever-growing collection of pretty papers. Otherwise I slip the present out and give the paper to my mum to re-use. >_>

Most of the time I crumple it and throw it away. However, when I'm at school, I re-wrap the present if it is chocolate. (Just a precaution...) :p

I'm sorry, but if somebody saves their wrapping paper... there's something wrong with you.

Throw that stuff away!

I usually save the nicer, bigger pieces for scrap paper (just like newsprint/newspaper).

If I don't have a whole roll of it, I might save it, but we have NO shortage of wrapping paper.

Saving wrapping paper is the last thing on my mind. >_>

Save all the wrapping paper. Decide on who gave me the most useless gift. Keep the paper until their birthday, use ALL of it to wrap their gift and smirk proudly while they spend half an hour opening it =]

I would set it aside and reuse it, but me and my sisters have this traditional wrapping paper fight. Usually the wrapping paper isn't very salvageable after that...

Obviously you crumple it up and throw it at the people in your house when they least expect it. Or when you're just a few steps away from them. Either or.
