Tiny Choices Q&A: Gift Wrap?

By Jenn (TinyChoices.com) | August 15, 2007

Welcome to Tiny Choices Q&A, where we open the floor for discussion on questions which ya’ll have submitted (read the first list of questions here).

Stacey asks:

What about gift wrapping - especially for showers when presentation counts for alot.

I love this question, because I think there are so many crafty answers to it. When I was a wee tiny-choicemaker I used to carefully rip out beautiful ads from glossy magazines and tape the images together to create custom gift wrap for each recipient. Who’s got that kind of time now?

Updated to add: Fishlips has gorgeous gift-wrap, produced on 100% post-consumer recycled paper and printed with soy inks. Go Fishlips!
What are your ideas?

If you have a child, her or his artwork makes a great, personalized alternative to traditional wrapping paper as well, especially for a shower or family event.

And don’t overlook giving children’s (nicely framed) artwork as gifts themselves- I’ve got a masterpiece hanging in my living room from some little people I love dearly.

yay for recycled gift wrap!
i often use taped together magazine or newspaper pages and then i sew on them to make them cooler. also, you can decontrust a paper bag and stamp or block print on them.
a few years ago i bought all these rolls of cool old ’60s wrapping paper on ebay! it was super-exciting.

I recently wrapped some gifts in new flour sack kitchen towels similar to these-

They are so big you can even fold one diagonally and wear it as an apron.
