Must-Have Mondays

Holiday Season Must-Have.... A beautifully wrapped [eco-friendly] present!

According to the EPA, wrapping paper from holiday gifts is largely to blame for a 25 percent spike in curbside trash volume between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.  So why not be eco-friendly this year when swapping gifts?  Here are a couple ideas for GOING GREEN with gift-wrapping this holiday season:

1) Use a reusable bag or tote - this is a gift that keeps on giving ;)  Check out these totes below or go to customgrocerybags.com to create your own bag!










2) Use nature as a substitute for a bow!  Sprigs of berries, branches, shells and pine cones are all good present toppers.









3)  Recycle old or unwanted magazines and newspapers and use them as substitute for wrapping paper.
