Wrapping paper and bows/ribbons. THey're just gonna get torn up anyway, no reason to spent a ton of money to make it fancy

My grandfather used to wrap our presents in the comics pages from newspapers when I was a kid. I loved it.

Same for me. It was easy for him to spot which gifts were from him when bringing them to our house and putting them together with the other gifts too, so that was another win in his book :)

I had some older relatives who would use the Sunday comics as wrapping paper, and I'd open the gifts carefully so I could read the comics when I was done.
