Go Eco-Friendly with your Valentine’s Day Gift Wrap this Year
This Valentine’s Day when you go to buy your sweetie that special gift that expresses the love you have for them, think of how you are going to wrap it up and go eco-friendly. Not sure where to start, well here are some ideas.
• Old Maps: Old maps are great for wrapping gifts up. Even if it’s just a birthday gift or a Valentine’s Day gift. The cool thing about the maps is you can make any of them look awesome around a gift box. You can take a red marker and follow a road from a mark you made that says “ME” and draw the road line to another mark you made that says, “YOU” and meet them in the middle with a heart.
• Reusable Shopping Bags: They are everywhere anymore. They can be stuffed with recycled tissue paper and your gift added and tied off with a piece of twine. The gift idea for wrapping, not only gives the receiver an eco-friendlier gift option, it also gives them a reusable shopping bag as well, to use over and over again.
• LED Light bulb: This idea is a great way to add some flare to the gift package and also gives the receiver a way to save money and energy in their own home. Make sure the bulb is new and is also Energy Star Approved as well.
*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip: The best wrapping paper idea can be found right in your won cabinet. Use aluminum foil to wrap a gift with. Not only is it recyclable it can also add flair to a gift with a bit of shine that will make it stand out for sure.
