Gift wrapping is a lot of fun and necessary on many occasions, but we must also consider the environmental impact of this activity. You can wrap gifts in an original way and with a very attractive finish, while keeping your environmental impact to a minimum.
Furoshiki
From exotic Japan comes this ancient art of gift wrapping, using a fabric called Furoshiki, which is used to wrap the gifts in question. The fabric is reusable, and the designs on the packaging are stunning. You'll leave everyone speechless.
You only need a piece of fabric (it is important that the fabric is square), and a little practice following these instructions:

Used clothing
We all have tons of clothes in our closets that we no longer use, and they can be used as original eco-friendly packaging. You can make a candy-shaped wrapper with the sleeves of a T-shirt, you can easily make a bag with a whole T-shirt, and an old sock can be used to wrap a bottle of wine. We guarantee you'll spend half the dinner talking about the sock.
Comics and comics
If you want a more pop aesthetic, this is the wrapper for you. Search through all the comics and comic books you have stacked up for recycling, and use their pages to wrap the gift. They'll give the gift a very fun and colorful look.
Calendars, posters, maps, etc.
What do you do with last year's calendar? Or that road map from 2002 that you'll never use again? Or that poster you'll never hang again? These are the ideal materials for wrapping your gifts, because their thick, glossy paper adds a touch of class.
The gift wrapping itself
Of course, the gift wrapping itself is all reusable; we just need to be a little careful when opening the gifts, and all that paper will be available for later use. Bows, ribbons, and ties are included in the gift pack, of course.
