Beautiful gift wrapping doesn't have to cost a fortune. You can wrap gifts with everyday items you already have around the home. Not only will you save money, but people will also appreciate your thoughtfulness and creativity.

Using the newspaper is brilliant!
Personalize it even more by using sections (or specific comic strips) that mean something to the recipient -- business section for the CEO, arts and entertainment for the film buff, etc. How about the personals for the bachelor or home listings for the house shopper?
A free and easy way to personalize gifts -- very cool idea! Great post!
Keep an eye out for nice fabric ribbon, on sale or at a garage sale. Really classy ribbon makes the whole thing look better. Also, if you buy Christmas ornaments after Christmas, they can be used as part of the wrapping on a Christmas gift.
I also love to save on expensive bows by using fresh flowers from the garden in the spring or attaching colorful leaves and berries in the fall.
Hey,

How about a page from a scenic calendar for a very small gift? If the calendar is an inexpensive one (like the free ones you get at the bank or dry cleaners) the paper should be floppy enough to use.
