For eco-friendly holiday gift wrap you’ve got a ton of choices. You can stay greener by using leftover wrap from previous years, using reusable gift wrap – such as a nice basket or little wooden box, or use items like the comic pages for kids gifts. If you go new make sure you get reusable or recycled/recyclable wrap. Make sure to recycle your gift wrap after the season as well.
Here are some cool green gift wrap choices.
- Green Furoshiki
– These are lovely and made from supple, easily tied Dupioni silk. The three color-coordinated furoshiki wraps enclose presents nicely and then can be used as scarves or elegant table decor, among other things.
- Recycled Wrap – blue or red
- Recycled Wrap – Gratitude
- Recycled Gift Bags

Love your choices. Thanks! We’ll be checking these out! Personally, we’re totally into the wrapping in fabric concept. While they are not yet from recycled fabrics, designs from http://www.bobowrap.com and http://www.furochic.com are fun and fabulous. We are “encouraging” everyone to green up their fabrics, but even when they are not, the reuse makes them a worthwhile choice!
