Here are some ideas from Ideal Bite re recycled wrapping paper one can buy (even online, I think):
* Holiday Nostalgia Gift Wrap - recycled gift wrap from eco-oriented Smith & Hawken ($9).
* Natural Elements Gift Wrap - made from shedding tree bark, it's got a great fabric-like texture ($6).
* Poinsettias Hemp Wrap - post-consumer recycled paper with a little hemp and flax thrown in for good measure ($5).
* Recycled Tissue Paper - 100% recycled, it's bleached without chlorine ($3).
* Peaceful Valley - not holiday-themed, but we love their nature-themed wraps (prices vary).
* Winter Berries Gift Wrap - UK Biters can get their recycled gift wrap and support wildlife at the same time (£4).
* Ideal Bite's B'day Tip - think beyond paper. Try reusables: one of the best ways to dress up your gift without waste.

Personally, I like to use the comics (except newsprint can get on the item if it's not wrapped in tissue paper or plastic first), old maps, old kid's drawings, etc.
