My whole family hates that I refuse to buy thematic, seasonally-appropriate wrapping paper, with matching ribbons etc. I never quite got the decorum of gift giving (like why buy a gift, then spend an extra ten dollars to wrap it and put a card on top, when I could have just got you a $10 better gift?!?!), but now, we can cite the unncessary waste of disposable gift wrap. DIYLife suggest five environmentally friendly alternatives.
Â
1). Re-purposed paper
2). Gift boxes from re-purposed cardboard.
3). Fabric gift bags
4.) Fabric CD case
5.) Fabric WrapÂ
