I have gotten stacks for gifts and I have boughten a couple speciality paper stacks and a big 600 page stack from costco. I usually buy my patterned paper individually tho. and I love buying the sold paper in stack or packs because it is usually cheaper that way. I do use alot of paper... and I have a lot of paper..... but I am a paper hoarder so I will be paper poor for the rest of my life....
