Holiday Gift Wrap

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

I am trying to find a good site to buy organic and / or recycled packaging for holiday gifts this period.

Google / Yahoo search has not shown much and those who have had a bad choice. Anyone know of any suggestions or sites I should look?

TIA

Do not buy or use a paper gift. If you take the log, you can wrap gifts with that. kraft paper bags to wrap gift than old-fashioned Green bar computer printer. Your style can make pretty pompon bows plastic grocery bags. Wrap a gift with a beach towel that can be used next summer. Better yet, simply place the gift in a box and tie with a ribbon hair bands or rubber band. After Christmas store boxes and reuse them next year. If you receive gifts with wrapping paper, recycled paper to line your shelves and drawers.

Use gift bags - which allows your friends and your family will ultimately give everything and keep the same year after year, gift bags - so that no one should waste $ or resources on the wrapping paper . Other suggestions are using newspaper (and decoration if you're feeling extra motivated) - or towels / fabric / T-shirts, or if you really clever, do not wrap gifts, hide them and gather clues sheet or a treasure map leading to them.

Recycle fabric, you can get in the thrift stores. those old dresses and even come with ribbons and bows that can be reused several times. It's fun, we have this fabric that is wrapped around a gift joke ... as a white elephant gift. This is always the first open, no matter who he is, and starts the day off well with laughter and good will.

We have been using tissue present on several occasions over the past 12 years. X-mas and birthdays to keep it in the family, but you can start a new trend with gifts to friends for other events too.

There is more fabric colors, designs and models than ever there was wrapping paper. Even if it can be very cheap, it seems expensive and beautiful.

Good question, good luck.

You can use your imagination, humor newspaper works, already read, make a wrapper to hand ... or use those favorite section, gardening tips, etc. used books can make interesting cover also try to use store bags, tapes the box and Wella packaging. Be creative, be based on the log after you wrap the present. Another package might be fun boxes that contained oats, decorated as a drum or a person. packaging can be easy if you reuse the last year paper, bows, etc., we make a game of cards for recycling, bows and ribbons.

The fabric is a good idea if you live near a city, see if it has a webgroup Freecycle to join and you can post a request of people in the group for you to use, but old fabric would normally discard. flannel sheets older would be good and fast, cut a large portion of the donation, to collect the edges up and tie with string. Makes a good dust cloth after unpacking.

I did my own research on the Web and came with a choice of paper a few:

Gift Bag it, get the recycled fabrics, and colored plastic bags. Or get the plain brown grocery bags and glue the fronts of the holiday cards you received last year for the bags as decoration.

This could also work with plain paper; go to Walgreens or somewhere like that, and buy recycled brown craft paper (used for transportation). Then glue the fronts ever received.
