Glow in the Dark Wrapping Paper

Some people spend yonks choosing their wrapping paper. Which is odd given that most of it is about as visually stimulating as the test card and gets ripped to bits in seconds - unless Auntie 'ooh, let's keep this lovely paper' Nora is the recipient. But thanks to Glow in the Dark Wrapping Paper making your mind up is a no-brainer.


As its name suggests this is wrapping paper. That glows in the dark. Aren't you glad we're here to spell these things out for you? All it needs is 15 minutes of sunlight to make its stars glow in the dark for a whopping 24 hours. Simply leave your wrapped pressies by the window or in a well-lit area and watch in smug wonder as onlookers are wowed by your glowing gifts.

This magical paper is so impressive you can use it to cover up the fact your presents are rubbish. 'Scented drawer liners...how lovely.' Though at under a fiver for two generous sheets, one green and one red, even the biggest Scrooge should still have enough spare change for a semi-decent gift. But don't despair if you haven't, because thanks to its luminous properties you can tell excited recipients to expect something sparkly.*

Ideal for extra special pressies, this novel wrapping paper makes virtually every other form of decorative wrap look decidedly clichéd. Santa on a sleigh? Humbug. Flowery designer doodles? Boring. Not that anyone takes much notice of regular wrapping paper. And that's the point, because this stuff will draw attention to your style and originality before anyone has even opened anything. Shiny happy paper? Totally.
