So, for the holdiays, I of course am rushing around getting gifts that I was previously uninspired to buy.  I had no ideas of what I was going to get people.  Now I know what I want to get people, but don’t really have the money or time - or the energy.

On top of that is all the wrapping, compiling, presenting. I understand that a portion of gift giving is presentation, and I love a well-presented gift (and I hoard beautiful wrapping paper for later purposes.)  But this year, I’d like to be a little more sustainable in my gift giving if possible.

My theme this year was Experiences, and so most people are getting a form of experience (gift cards, tickets, etc.)  These things don’t really involve packaging. Some people are getting items, and many of those are not getting wrapped.  But there are always those gifts that must be wrapped, and to some degree, I WANT to wrap at least a few gifts so I can get my enjoyment of quality presentation. 

In seeking out advice to sustainable wrapping, I got all sorts of ideas, but one I really thought was awesome was Furoshiki.  It gives you ideas of how to wrap, and you can use again - for wrapping or for other things!  You could make them as well.  What is better than this?

Half-Assed gift bags begone - I’m thinking artful Furoshiki is the way to go!
