brown paper packages

I think if you have white glossy wrapping paper and brown paper wrapping paper, you can wrap a gift for any occasion. Those are my two wrapping staples, plus thick string like this. Oh, and tape. But as I've mentioned before that can be difficult to track down around here. I hear parents distress about many things with their kids, but I've yet to hear one complain about the excessive tape usage that seems to only run rampant around here.
