Eco Holiday Guide: Gift Wrapping
Date: December 10, 2009 | Category: Guides, Holiday & Gift
With as much as half of the 85 million tons of paper products used each year in America going to packaging, wrapping, and decorating consumer goods, this year, choose from the many stylish options of recycled and tree-free wrapping. Or if you’re feeling crafty, make your own wrap using old magazines - this way you can customize the design for the recipient, while cutting down on your use of new materials.
| Fish Lips Paper Designs: Printed in the USA on 100% recycled paper with soy-based inks, we absolutely adore the funky bold prints from Fish Lips - especially the “chilly dogs” and “oh deer” ($4 per sheet). |

| Seltzer Goods Sleigh Paper: A long time ecofab favorite, Seltzer Goods light-hearted yet luxurious recycled paper wrapping is printed in Canada using veggie based inks ($3.25 per sheet). |
