Cheap Christmas wrapping paper is available now at Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Five Below, and Walmart. These stores list holiday rolls from $1.00 to about $4.98, with coverage from 20 to 100 square feet. The lowest sticker price is not always the lowest cost per gift.

What does Five Below offer?
Five Below lists 50-square-foot Christmas character wrapping paper for $1.50. Basic Christmas gift wrap starts at $1.00, with some traditional 50-square-foot rolls clearanced to $0.50, according to Five Below on the character wrap listing. Character prints work well for children's gifts.
Plain or traditional prints stretch across more recipients. Availability can change by store and design. Check the shelf label for square footage before comparing prices.
What should you expect at Walmart?
Walmart carries Hallmark 40-square-foot rolls for about $4.98. It also carries Holiday Time value rolls, according to Walmart on the fancy wrapping paper listings. Many licensed and multipack marketplace rolls cost $11.99 to $18.99.
Those packs may suit coordinated wrapping, but they cost more upfront. Read the listing carefully. Marketplace sellers set separate prices and shipping terms.
Why does roll size matter?
Dollar-store rolls are often only 15 to 20 square feet. Buyers wrapping many gifts may need several rolls. A 50- to 100-square-foot roll for $3.00 can cost less per square foot.
Compare total coverage, not only sticker price. For backup paper, Dollar Tree sells Plusmark assorted all-occasion 20-foot rolls for $1.25 each. Solid colors can cover small gifts when holiday prints run out.
