The December holidays are getting closer and with them the gifts for our loved ones. As soon as this time arrives, we usually buy gifts for family, friends and co-workers and we look for the ideal wrapper to cover what is inside and surprise the person. However, those red bows, decorative boxes and Christmas bags end up in the trash, polluting the environment. Fortunately there are sustainable options to continue the tradition without leaving a negative footprint on the planet, here are some options that you can use this year:

Give your newspapers a second use!

This option is very useful when wrapping your gifts, it works very well to cover books, movies, perfumes, puzzles, among other things, and if you complement it with a natural fiber twine you will achieve a warm touch.

Don't throw away your magazines and recycled paper.

Instead of throwing away your magazines, take advantage of them and wrap gifts with them, choose the prettiest side of the sheet to give it an aesthetic look . In addition, the rustic color of the recycled paper will give an elegant style to your gifts, take that into account!

Recycled cardboard or kraft paper

We all have a cardboard box that we no longer use at home, you can reuse it to make your wrap, or kraft paper will be a simple option, but accompanied by dry twigs and a raffia bow, it will be much more personalized . Best of all, it is 100% renewable, biodegradable and recyclable.

Celebrate and take care of the planet at the same time, opt for these ecological options and give your gifts a special touch.
