Very nice, but bigger doesn't always mean better. Overall I am delighted and will continue to buy it.

Love these blue prints and the fact that there are additional prints on the back. Some prints can be considered reusable and are not just Christmas prints. This paper is thicker and heavier than most papers, so be careful not to cut yourself! While I appreciate opaque, durable paper, I prefer the lighter, no-frills original Hallmark paper, which in most cases is easier to work with. Each roll contains several medium and smaller gifts, or one larger gift plus several smaller gifts. If you have a very large gift (like a vacuum cleaner, portable electric keyboard, or set of pots and pans) you will most likely need more than one roll to cover it. Each roll is a separate print with a different print on the back; however, they are all perfectly matched and complement each other perfectly. I love its versatility! I've used small scrap pieces to make my own gift tags to go with matching gifts. I had very little waste. The shades of blue in this wrapping paper come closest to turquoise and turquoise (or deep sky blue). The color we chose for the wood decor was more blue, silver and gold. This paper worked fine but not the shade of blue I wanted. Ribbon doesn't always hold this paper well, especially for large gifts. I had to reinforce some of them with packing tape to keep them secure. Another benefit of this paper is that it is strong, tear and puncture resistant. Excellent coverage. No transparency! Very high quality and worth the price if you can afford it. I use it for special occasions and adult Christmas gifts, but for most children's gifts I use less expensive wrapping paper. This is an updated overview as of December 2019. The original review was published in February 2019.

Pros
  • PRACTICAL: The gift bag set is perfect for Christmas, Hanukkah, winter weddings, graduations, birthdays and more. It's great to have Christmas gifts or party invitations on hand.
Cons
