The ever-present gift wrap and tape

I'm not sure why I ever ask myself if I have enough gift wrap and tape.  I always have both of those items, so I'm not sure why I forget that.  I still have a three-pack of wrapping paper that I bought after Christmas in 1999 and at least two rolls of tape.  You'd think I'd remember that, but wrapping paper and tape aren't items you typically think about until you need them.  Tape, especially, is not a flashy purchase.  Typically, I buy it when I see that it's on sale.  Then, I store it with the other three rolls of tape I bought during previous sales.  I suspect most of us are like that.
