This wrapping paper idea came from one of my friends years ago. Use outdated atlases and maps for colorful, cool-looking, and good quality wrapping paper. I use mostly for birthday gifts, but cut out a silhouette of Santa in his sleigh and/or reindeers and attach for Christmas gifts. If you like this idea but don't have any maps to use, pick up some free ones at travel and visitor's centers the next time you are traveling.

I used to work for a flight school. They could only sell the flight maps in their store for so long, then they couldn't sell them any longer because they would be outdated. The outdated ones were free for the taking, and they make great wrapping paper!

What is really good is just newspaper. Like my dad said a long time ago. Why buy wrapping paper just for 1 time use they just rip it off & throw it away. Save your money & use newspaper.

Cool idea! I use old funny papers sometimes, especially the color ones!
