Eco friendly Gift Wrap

I’m going through an eco lifetsyle makeover, little by little. Since gift giving is also a part of my life, here’s a few ideas for more eco friendly way of giving your gifts.

1. Recycle old materials and use as a gift wrap. Use old posters, magazines, calendars and newspapers to wrap your presents with. You can personalize the gift by decorating it with paint or markers.
2. Reuse containers you already used as a gift container. They can be cereal boxes, juice canisters, tin cans, etc.
3. Wrap your present in another usable item. Use scarves, blankets, towels, napkins, etc. It doubles as another present as well.
4. Wrap your present with a fabric ribbon. Ribbons have many uses, both decorative and useful.
