So I'm wrapping my girlfriends gift and half way through I run outta gift wrap

I have more but a different type.can I mix and match or do I hafta trek back out through the crowds to the mall and get the same wrap

.It's a big box so no matter what I use I'm gonna run outta of it if I try again with another wrapping paper.

Depends on how long you've been with the gf and who else will be present during the opening

You can mix and match,why not? Back when I used to celebrate Xmas and wrapped gifts (in Festivus if their is gifts you hurl them as hard as you can at the person and if they catch it and remain standing they get to keep it) I had to do a patch job on a gift.

boooo!! It's not the paper that counts - it's the gift!!

Or, most wrapping paper is white on the other side, he can put the white side out and then color with crayons or markers some designs. That would make it really special and fun!

Not a bad idea.

Or you could just strategically place the box under the tree so the unwrapped side can't be seen

When I was a kid and we ran out of paper, mom would use brown paper grocery bags and draw designs on it. She was a good artist tho.

Yeah and CalvinH, will it fit into a gift bag? Those are nice

Meanwhile, yes just wrap w/another type of paper to finish the job. The fact that you went out and bought it and wrapped it is very sweet. She shouldn't care about the crappy wrap job.
