I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I am ditching wrapping paper this year in favor of fabric wrap and upcycled gift bags and boxes like this one. We have enough waste in this world without contributing to the mound needlessly with extraneous things like wrapping paper that gets immediately tossed in the trash after looking pretty. If you are on the receiving end, another idea is to carefully unwrap your gift without too many tears and re-use it again on a gift you plan to wrap! Let’s all do our part, people!
