If you appreciate convenience, this gift wrapping set from Amazon Japan has a few things going for it. It comes with six vibrantly colored wrapping paper sheets, four rolls of ribbon (two in a dark green, and two gold), two sheets of cute stickers, and a roll of double sided tape. Basically, if you have gifts to wrap, this pack is a one stop shop for your presents to look cute and snazzy. The paper itself is nice and thick, too -- I know that I've purchased other wrapping paper in the past that has been fairly thin and flimsy, so this was a nice surprise that it was quite sturdy.

As I mentioned in the title of this review, there are some downsides with this pack. As you can see in the photos, the paper sheets come folded, so there are noticeable crease lines when you go to wrap your presents. Each sheet of paper measures 50 x 70 cm, and while that was not a problem for the gifts I had to wrap, I can imagine it'd be frustrating for larger-sized presents. Keep that in mind if you plan on purchasing this set! Also, the roll of double sided tape is very thin, and because the paper is thick and sturdy, I had to use regular tape because I was worried the double-sided stuff wouldn't hold the wrapping down sufficiently. Thankfully I almost always have tape on hand, but I would have been a little cheesed off if I had to go to the store after assuming this had everything I'd need in it.
