Some Toys R Us do not allow wrapping and other do. They usually don;t stop you from wrapping other stores gifts, because they are not the one supplying the paper. Borders , and Barnes an Noble usually provide the wrapping supplies, so they restrict wrapping to items purchased at the store....And just a thought for those wrapping at Boarder and Barnes and Noble....maybe if you offered to provided the wrapping paper for gift purchased outside the store, maybe the would be willing to relax on that restriction. Theresa, I think your best bet is just approach the manager and explain the WFI program and ask what the store requirements would be to consider allowing us to hold the WFI event at their store :-) The most important thing is to start get set up as soon as possible to give yourself time to schedule your volunteers and get supplies if needed. BTW. I saw listing on craigslist for 1000 boxes in the Philly area

I contact Toy's and and a clothing store called Burlington Coat Factory to see if we can add them to the list we have had in previous years. I guess we will see if they do allow us to do so..
