Zero Waste Gift Wrapping Ideas for Holidays
#1 FABRIC GIFT BAGS
Our Fabric Gift Bags are made to last a lifetime and cut down on the enormous amount of waste that single-use wrapping paper and bags, as well as all the glitter and plastic accessories that go along with it. These environmentally friendly bags are made of a 100% natural cotton that will last for many years of gift-giving and can be used all year round. You can pick a bag that is small enough to fit inside a jewelry box or one that is large enough to simulate a stuffed Santa sack thanks to the variety of sizes offered!
#2 NATURAL KRAFT PAPER
If you want to use paper, go for one that is eco-friendly. Since Kraft paper is making a comeback, this gift wrapping option is popular among design lovers and millennials. For the best gift, simply wrap it as is, tie it up with string, and tuck a rosemary sprig or some dried orange slices inside. For simpler wrapping, place smaller gifts in a natural kraft paper bag. Additionally, you can stamp your own festive pattern on the plain paper using vegetable dyes. Your kids will likely love it if it turns into a fun family ritual.
#3 MAPS OR NEWSPAPER
Another paper wrapping idea is to use old maps or newspaper as your gift wrap. Using old maps is a brilliant way to use paper you already have and adds a personal touch to the gift, especially if it is for a traveler or someone who enjoys traveling. If you use newspaper, be sure the item you are wrapping is either enclosed in a protective box or won't absorb ink because newspapers can transfer their ink onto clothing and light-colored surfaces.
