Looking to make your gift-giving a little more eco-friendly this holiday season? We’ll we love the classic kraft paper as a go-to wrapping choice, we wanted to explore some other sustainable options for wrapping your presents this year. Say goodbye to traditional kraft paper and embrace the beauty of furoshiki, the traditional Japanese art of fabric wrapping, or why not place your gift in a reusable container that can be repurposed year after year. Make every gift purposeful and meaningful from start to finish.
01. Furoshiki
Furoshiki, the traditional Japanese art of fabric wrapping, offers an elegant and sustainable alternative to kraft paper. By using a single piece of fabric, such as a square scarf or cloth, you can create beautiful and customizable gift wraps.
02. Vintage Scarf
Add a touch of nostalgia into your gift wrapping this year, while also giving two gifts in one by using vintage scarves for furoshiki-style wrapping. We love to source second hand scarves from places like The RealReal or Etsy to add an element of sustainability to the process, as you give new life to preloved accessories. Each wrapped gift becomes a treasure, adorned with a beautiful scarf that can be kept and reused for various purposes.
03. Baggu
Consider using a reusable Baggu bag as an eco-friendly gift wrap solution. These stylish and versatile totes can be gifted alongside the main present, serving dual purposes. The Baggu bag can be kept and reused by the recipient as a functional accessory or as a wrapping for future gifts. And it actually looks very chic under the tree adding a contemporary and purposeful touch to this years gifting. For a great how-to of wrapping your gift with a baggu, check out this video by baggu’s founder Emliy Sugihara.
04. Reusable Boxes
Opt for reusable boxes as an alternative to traditional gift wrapping. These sturdy, eco-friendly containers can be repurposed and reused year after year. While they may look lovely even without embellishments, feel free to repurpose old ribbons to add a personal touch. The best part? The recipient will appreciate the sustainability aspect and can choose to reuse the box or display it as a decorative item for years to come.
