ALTERNATIVE GIFT WRAPPING IDEAS

  • Newspaper - Do you read all your news online? No worries, try wrapping your gifts in reusable cloth, a homemade scarf, or tote bags. This way you can save on waste and the wrapping is a gift in itself!

  • Paper bags - If you do use traditional wrapping paper, hold back the urge to tear through it and save the paper to use again next year. Gift bags and boxes that can be used again make a great alternative to old school wrapping paper as well

  • Reusable gift bags - Not only do reusable gift bags cut down completely on waste, but they act as a gift itself as it can be reused for gift giving in the future. You may want to consider reusable bags for your green holiday!
