This year I'm going down the eco-friendly gift wrap path by using brown paper grocery bags (which are made from recycled paper and easily recyclable themselves) instead of the usual wrapping paper and plastic ribbon. To jazz things up a bit (because a gift that's wrapped in just brown paper bags can be kind of boring) I'm going to use paint, yarn, tape, glitter, craft scraps, twine, etc... to get creative with decorating the paper wrapping!
This is a great way to be conscious, green, AND creative for the holidays!
