Free Wrapping Paper Idea and Gift Ideas

Published 25 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I hope you're having a great week so far!

Today I want to share a sustainable way to wrap presents that I started doing this year and some gift ideas in case you need them.

Sustainable (and FREE) Wrapping Paper

It may be bland but at least for some presents I've started to wrap them in the packaging paper that comes in all the delivery boxes we get this time of year. It's free and it's actually recyclable unlike a lot of wrapping paper!

You can color on it to jazz it up, add bows, ribbons, whatever you want! I realize I'm not the first person to have this idea but wanted to share as it popped in my head a few weeks ago.

Above is an example of what you could do with this type of wrapping. I will admit, this is a photo I found on Canva, mine do NOT look this good but wanted to show you an example.

Gift Ideas

I've gathered up gift ideas based on what my kids like at certain ages, as well as things that my husband and I have asked for and enjoyed and put them together in blog posts to help people who aren't sure what to get kids at certain ages or what to ask for themselves.

I have blog posts for kids ages 0-7 and adults. (I should get working on age 8 since my oldest is 8 now...whoops!)

I hope these help you if you're not sure what to get kids of a certain age, your partner, or other adults in your life.

. Hi Reader, I can't believe Christmas is just a week away. I realize not everyone celebrates Christmas but no matter what you do or don't celebrate, you may resonate with this email.
