Affordable Modern Gift Wrap.

by on Dec 5, 2008

Really, I’m with the skeptics: it truly is quite wasteful to buy someone a gift they don’t need, and then spend a whole ‘nother bunch of resources hiding it under your tree. But, admittingly, my mouth waters when I see some finely designed gift wrap…i.e. that with zero cartoon snowmen and bold, graphic designs that just scream season’s greetings. Then I see that it’s $17/sq. yd. and I go back to skepticism.

But, what if some creative souls decided to make some affordable options? Well, then they might look something like this:

House Industries Holiday Wrap: $10 for 5 25 x 39″ sheets. (via.)

Dots Gift Wrap by Rifferaff: $8 for two 19 x 25″

Candy Stripes and Dots, Snowy Stripes and Funky Ornaments: $28.51 for  33′ of gift wrap & 20′ of ribbons

Three boxes are wrapped with gift wrap, one designed to look like Christmas lights, one like Christmas tree ornaments, and one like snowflakes.
