The places you can still get wrapping paper in time for Christmas

The Welsh Government has clarified whether Christmas cards and wrapping paper are considered non-essential items.

Non-essential retail, close contact services, gyms and leisure centres and hospitality were told to close at the end of trading on Saturday, putting many who expected to have until Christmas Day itself to complete their shopping in a very difficult position.

The changes mean many are still frantically trying to get their affairs in order before the big day arrives, and that includes vital buys like wrapping paper.

But with non-essential retail now brought to a halt, where can you find it?

The following is a list on where you can still find wrapping paper if you are in need.

Supermarkets

Non-essential items like toys have been blocked off at some supermarkets in Wales, but a Welsh Government spokesman said that while toys can not be sold in supermarkets, cards, wrapping paper and other stationary items are allowed.

Other stores

B&M Bargains has confirmed that they its stores will still be selling wrapping paper, following Welsh Government advice.

Argos also remains open, and you can pick up Christmas wrapping paper rolls there, with prices ranging between £6 and £4.50.

You can also visit Wilko, another store which still operates despite lockdown.

Online

You'll have to act fast, but you can still order wrapping paper online too.

There's delivery slots available with major retailers like Amazon which will get it to you on time, but it helps if you're a Prime member.
