November Tip: Sustainable Gift Wrapping

Let’s get creative without harming the environment! There are many alternatives to using store-bought wrapping paper when preparing gifts for the holidays. Many wrapping papers on the market are not recyclable and end up in landfills. Consider using plain brown packaging paper or pages from the Sunday newspaper, which can be decorated with paint, markers, or rubber stamps. New kitchen towels also make great gift wraps—and they double as an extra gift for the recipient. Finally, gift bags and decorative boxes can be stored and reused each year for a zero-waste Christmas. We hope this gives you some inspiration!
