Here are a few ideas for inexpensive, earth-friendly gift wrap:
- Use your children's art work to wrap gifts for grandparents.
- Cut up paper bags and stamp a festive design on it. You could use paper lunch bags that are stamped on for smaller gifts.
- Use colorful newspaper(the comics are great), phone book pages (it's fun if you can match the "topic" to the gift), or magazine pages, to wrap up the gift.
- Buy re-usable shopping bags. You can get some cute ones for $1 and they are reusable.
- For larger gifts, don't wrap them at all. Hide it and then write a series of clues to help the recipient find it. Actually, you could do this for any sized gift.
- When making gift baskets, use old detergent or cereal boxes wrapped in paper.
- Use a bandanna or scrap of fabric as gift wrap.
- If part of the gift includes clothing, use the clothing as the gift wrap.
