No-Waste Gift Wrapping Ideas

If you are trying to go "green" this holiday season, here are a few ideas to help eliminate as much waste as possible, and perhaps save a few trees.

• Decorate oversized gifts with just a reusable bow


• Put gifts in a decorative hat box and tie with a reusable ribbon


• Kitchen gifts can be warpped in a colorful dishtowel or table cloth


• Tools can be placed inside a tool box


• Hang jewelry right on the Christmas tree or place them inside an open ornament


• Small gifts can be place inside a stocking without being wrapped


• Some gifts already come in decorative gift boxes. Just add a bow and a tag and the gift is ready

You can find the Penguin gift box featured above at The Container Store - Gift Wrap for All Occasions!

And always remember, it is the thought that counts!
