Make Your Wraps Matter
A gift bag has unlimited lives if you treat ‘em right – always reach for last year's bags, tissue paper and ribbons first!
Every year an estimated 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper is used in the U.S., most of which ends up in the landfill! Feel confident about the impact you're making!
Always go for recycled paper first - paper bags, newspaper, old magazines, posters + more.
This blog post is sure to inspire some newspaper-wrapped gifts!
Wrap with fabric from home or from a thrift store! Joyful colors and patterns are everywhere - scarves, clothing, tote bags, and more!
Explore Furoshiki - the Japanese art of using fabric to wrap items.
Instead of manufactured bows - opt for twine with fabric from old clothes, and make your own bows from recycled materials to show off your creativity.
Check out this video tutorial on how to wrap bows from recycled magazines and this New York Times article on how to make newspaper bows!
Reuse cardboard shipping boxes, cereal or other sturdy boxes instead of something new.

Add natural festive touches – a sprig of pine, dried flowers, etc. – to make your presents pop.

Use biodegradable paper tape or recycled scotch tape - it’s so worth it that you may buy a second as a gift!
