Reducing waste at christmas

Eco Gift Wrapping Ideas

To save your wallet and the environment this Xmas.

〰️Christmas is a special time of year often filled with gift giving for family, friends and colleagues. It’s also typically a time of immense waste. Wrapping paper is used just once and whilst it is able to be recycled, there are many more eco friendly options given the significant resources that go into creating it.

Alternatives worth considering:

➰Wrap with newspaper, a red ribbon and sprig of rosemary.

➰Plain coloured red/green/gold gift bags that can be reused at times other than Xmas.

➰Reusable Xmas themed canvas gift bags. Cotton On always has great options that are usually partnered with a charity. Kikki K always has a few Christmas cloth bags as well.

➰Words with heart x #INGDreamstarter have created Xmas paper gift wrap that is printed on recycled paper with eco ink. Each purchase funds a day of education for girls.

➰Wrap gifts in a teacloth or vintage scarf from an op-shop - double gift!
