I thought it might help to have some alternative uses for bubble wrap, so I took the liberty of doing some googling for you. (You're welcome :p). 

1. Did you know you can use bubble wrap to repel deer?  Apparently, they refuse to walk on it (true fact). If you don't want any visits from Santa this year, I suggest lining your roof with the stuff.

2. These are favoured by ninjas, I believe.

3. Become an artist. (This stuff by Bradley Hart is actually pretty cool - done by injecting the bubbles with colours - considering how, and the reasons why, I discovered this particular art medium, I do find the following quote of his both ironic, and - somehow - insulting.... "On a general level bubble wrap – what I consider to be the quintessential dumb material – references the plastic nature and pixilated landscape of the current world,” said Canadian-born Hart. The injections are a metaphor for the ways we punctuate our lives with Google searches, selfies and Facebook posts").

4. Protect your virtue, at all costs.
