I would prefer a rebus version, where I circle pictures of Joe Quimby, the letter E, a "C," a wrist, and an arrow soaring over a target.

Everyone loves rebuses, right? They're at least due for a comeback.

My co-founder and I have a running joke where we surprise potential investors by announcing we're pitching a rebus-based Twitter instead.

I think most people would find this cheap and not very original. The same paper for all the occasions.

However,Universal Wrapping Paper 2.0 will be erasable. And then the receiver could just erase the message, circle a new message and wrap the new gift and give it to someone else.

Good practice to save a buck or two. :)

That could be surprisingly popular. Easier to decipher than textspeak too.

Re-usable wrapping paper is good for the environment as well.
