Want to Eco-Gift Wrap? Think Waste-Free!  Try to save the gift-wrap, bows and ribbons you receive from the year before (or other celebrations) to use next year. Often if you remove the wrapping carefully enough you can get a second or even third use out of it.

You can also try thinking small: sometimes a simple holiday ribbon is all you need to wrap a box or a set of books.

See what paper and other scraps you’ve got lying around: old fabric, shopping bags, maybe even a canvass bag you don’t really use. Add a little flare with rescued ribbons or get creative and color or paint. This could be a lot of fun if you’ve got little ones and need a craft idea (it’s fine too if you want to just unleash your own inner child and play).
