try wallpaper
I use leftover wallpaper to wrap gifts. You can often find rolls of wallpaper at second-hand stores if you don't have any around. For small gifts, I use wallpaper sheets from sample books. I have gone to stores and asked for old wallpaper sample books. They are usually glad to have someone take them off their hands, and they would normally go to the landfill, anyway.
You can also use wallpaper to cover kids' school books. Much sturdier than the paper ones.
