Cranking the Mariah Carey “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, sipping hot cocoa, and wrapping gifts is a favorite holiday pastime for many of us. But traditional gift wrapping (paper, bows, and bags, oh my!<\/em>) can be incredibly wasteful. Most are lined with plastic, which means they cannot be recycled and have to be sent to landfill.<\/p>\n

Luckily for you, there are so many ways<\/em> to beautifully wrap a gift using recycled, repurposed, and natural, compostable materials which can be most likely be found around your house!<\/p>\n
