wrapping paper

This term refers specifically to the decorative material used to conceal a gift, creating a sense of anticipation and presentation. It is distinct from brown packing paper or industrial wrap, as it typically features colorful patterns, textures, or thematic designs associated with celebrations.

Grammatically, this is an uncountable noun. You cannot refer to "three wrapping papers" when discussing the material itself; instead, you must use partitive phrases such as "a roll of wrapping paper" or "a sheet of wrapping paper" to specify quantity.
