eco wrapping

I recently gave some bento goodies to my sister-in-law(s) and my niece. Thing was, I ran out of wrapping paper for my husband’s sister’s [and aunts'] gifts. I went out on a shopping excursion the next day with plans to get more, but first I stopped by Old Navy to exchange a pair of pants. When I was in the checkout line, I saw these super kawaii reusable shopping bags for a buck a piece. That’s when the idea hit me – why buy more wrapping paper (which would just get thrown away) when I could use these bags to wrap gifts? It’s like a gift in an [itty bitty] gift! I plan to use reusable shopping bags from now on the wrap gifts. And, the best thing is, tons of store sell reusable bags for a dollar [or less than], so you don’t even spend much more money* wrapping this way!
[*If you don't have money to spend on wrapping, or are just interested in being extra environmentally conscious, the funnies from the Sunday paper work great for gift wrap!]

That is an AWESOME idea!

We used to do the funnies, too! I did all the Christmas gifts last year in green reusable bags with red bows, and for Fox’s birthday we used tan colored ones for the kiddies dino goodie bags!
Great minds…
