Save them for gift wrap! Here’s a gift I wrapped for my brother-in-law last year. The paper consists entirely of junk mail – a Pottery Barn catalog and a direct mail piece.

The only downside is that I used a lot of tape on this. The upside is that it was fun and original. Plus, it saved wrapping paper.
