Glassine paper is frequently used in packaging food gifts--it prevents oils from baked goods from getting on other things. For example, if you want to box some cookies, wrapping them first in glassine paper prevents oil spots from appearing on the box itself, and possibly transferring to things you'd rather not get oil onto. It can also serve as a barrier to keep things from sticking together, like caramel apples, etc.
It's very similar to wax paper.
It is also used to make envelopes to store postage stamps and other types of printed matter.
