Just in time for the holidays, here are some green gift wrapping ideas from Gaiam to keep you from feeling so guilty when you look around the room on Christmas morning and see all of that wasted gift wrapping paper.
For Great Gree Giftwrapping Ideas…
1. Keep your used aluminum foil throughout the year and use it for space-age gift wrap for the kids come Christmas time.
2. Reuse your shopping bags – simple but effective and cheap!
3. Keep those used gas-station-bought maps from the last family vacation. Not only do they make great green gift wrap, but it will remind your family of what a great time you had!
4. Top off your gifts to friends with more gifts, like a compact fluorescent lightbulb instead of a bow!
5. Make your own green gift wrapping paper out of paper grocery bags, fabric from old clothes or just about anything else that you can get your hands on. It keeps you from adding all of that paper to our landfills and shows that you put thought into your gift.
