The genius idea means you won't just save a few quid on wrapping paper - you're also helping the environment out by recycling your old shopping bag.

Primark's trademark brown paper bags with blue font have been given a jazzy festive makeover, with the new and improved version featuring Christmassy red stripes.

"This bag makes great wrapping paper," is printed on the side.

The design of the nifty new bag was revealed yesterday.

Of course, you won't be able to nab one until non-essential shops reopen on December 2nd.

If you haven't been able to find any Christmas wrapping paper in the shops this year, we think we might have an inkling where all the rolls have gone.

As we previously told you, people have been wrapping their cupboards in Christmas paper to give their homes a festive makeover.

One man shared a photo of how he had wrapped his TV stand - and it turns out many people also cover their cupboards in Christmas paper.

He wrote on the Facebook group : “Not sure if anyone else has done a post like mine but..... Cheap and chearfull haha.

“Wrap your cupboard in Christmas wrapping paper for an easy decoration.

“Best thing is you can you and paper you want!”
