Hi, it wasn't any special type of paper, a normal one I had available at the moment,but to highlight your comment,a thicker and steadier one would be more suitable for this type of wrapping as the finniest paper can get rips and tears with so many creases that need to be done. To avoid this, you can first prewrap the present (book, CD, DVD in this case) in a (different) paper in order to cover the sharp corners (of a book for example) that can possibly cause the tearing of the paper. I did it this way and it worked fine. Gracias y saludos
