tissue paper
Gift bag filler
Tissue paper is thin, soft, often translucent paper.
It wraps delicate items for protection, stuffs gift bags for presentation, or serves in craft projects.
The term overlaps with tissue in the sense of disposable paper for blowing one's nose, though tissue paper more often suggests the decorative or wrapping kind: She wrapped the vase in tissue paper before boxing it.
