Maroon and Charcoal Gift Wrap Paper Roll, Navy Christmas Wrapping Sheets, Taupe and White Holiday Present Wrap

The Hendersons and the Okafors have held an unofficial skating contest on the neighborhood pond every winter for nine years. Nobody keeps score, so both families are winning. Delia Okafor was holding the roll of this white paper, covered in skaters in maroon, navy and charcoal coats with arms spread wide, when she realized it was the ideal wrapping for the annual gift to the Hendersons. She would wrap something thoughtful. She would wrap it in grace and class. She would also win.

The gift was a small bag of rock salt with a lovely bow, labeled "For the driveway," which Delia considered a lethal combination of polite and petty. She wrapped it with the biggest skater centered on top, maroon coat gleaming, one leg extended like a champion. Her husband read the tag and said, "You know the pond is not even frozen yet." "Which is why the paper has to do the talking," said Delia, smoothing the last corner with the confidence of a person who had trained for this.

Ben Henderson opened the gift, laughed for a full minute and returned the favor with a perfectly wrapped bag of sand. The two families now exchange salt and sand every winter, and it remains unclear who is ahead. Maroon, navy, charcoal and taupe skaters glide across a soft white background, making this one of the most graceful rolls you can put under a tree. Buy it for the neighbor you secretly compete with, and let the paper make the first move. The salt, by the way, was a joke. Mostly. The sand was not.

Skaters in maroon, navy and charcoal coats, with taupe and white accents, glide across a soft white sheet with their arms stretched out. It is a graceful print, closer to a winter movie poster than a toy shop. The figures are large enough that a single skater fills a small box, and the dark tones look rich against light ribbon. A cream bow keeps it classic. A maroon one doubles down. Use a pair of tiny skates hung from the knot, and the box turns into a miniature rink with a lot of style.

For the neighbor you secretly compete with: a perfectly wrapped bag of sand, sealed with a straight face and a bow. For the rink regular who has never missed a Tuesday: a mug with a lid, since the zamboni waits for no one. For the teenager who is suddenly interested in figure skating and has questions about the physics of spinning: a small pair of leg warmers, because the physics will not warm anyone's ankles. The skaters on the paper carry every gift with composure.
