Every Monday I post a way that you can make a difference in a minute or less, ranging from free to no more than $20. Some of the tips are going to be things you have heard of, but hopefully more often than not it is something new!
MDM Tip #53: If you don’t have any wrapping paper, use the Sunday comics, magazines, or even the weekly ads. Hopefully the recipient will put the paper to the recycle bin afterwards

Hi Abbie!
I used to do this for my nephews’ birthdays and Christmas presents when they were little boys. I figured they would just rip the paper, so why bother with “nice” stuff they didn’t care about. Also, I thought the bright colours of the comics section would appeal to them.
Love this idea!

Hi Margaret! My mom used to do this when we were little, too – I think buying wrapping paper is such a waste of money!
