It's A Wrap!
Five years ago I started an annual holiday tradition- a gift wrapping party with my closest friends. Over the last year or so, I have lost touch with several girlfriends. Life + family keeps all of us pretty busy it seems. So this year, that party consisted of just me + the kiddo. To try and keep our wrapping Eco-friendly and cost-effective, we wrapped our gifts in old newspapers + red yarn. We made the tags out of brown paper bags + stamps. And the final touch was a tree branch from our Christmas tree. The result was eye-catching practical gift wrapping with a personal touch. The downside to using newspapers as gift wrap is black fingers from the newsprint. It rubs off easily, so be sure to wash hands immediately after wrapping before touching + grabbing other things. Other than that, we were very pleased with our earth conscience choice. - xoxo
