A brilliant tip (plus, shiny)

Okay, if you are on a budget but you need wrapping paper, here is my advice: get a giant roll of plain silver.

Silver wrapping paper will get you through every possible situation. It's good for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, Hanukkah, and graduation. All ribbon colors match it, so you can put whatever you want on there.

I have three rolls of wrapping paper—one orange-and-yellow plaid, one gold with Christmas balls, and one plain silver, and seriously, I don't know why I have anything other than the silver. It's the classiest and the most versatile.

So that's what I recommend. Also, "Prom Night at Hater High" by The Long Winters.
