Site of the Week: Uline.com

I'm not one of those people who scoops up her wrapping paper and ribbon at the post-holiday sales. For me it doesn't make sense because I live in a city apartment and don't have an attic or even a spare spot in a closet to store it in.

But I hate paying full price for that stuff, so today I checked out Uline.com, a great site to buy paper and tissue paper in bulk, which can net a big savings. I can buy a 200-sheet pack of colorful tissue starting at $32, and it'll take me through the holidays and all through the year—wrapping a birthday gift here, and a shower present there. It's flat, easy to store and comes in all sorts of cool, color coordinated assortments.

I especially like the animal prints, but there are holiday themes too. And if you've got a lot of packages to ship, you can get all your supplies here in bulk as well, including labels, sturdy tape, recycled boxes, and FDA-approved biodegradable packing peanuts ($18 for 12 cu ft). Happy wrapping!

Thanks for the tip, Sue. The animal print tissue paper they have is definitely interesting. I've purchased colored and white tissue paper from Fetpak, their prices are lower and they also give me free shipping so on heavy items like tissue paper that saves plenty.

Fetpak also has tons of gift boxes and gift bags, so I use them for that too. Their website is easy enough www.fetpak.com Thanks again, Sue.
