Holiday Wrapping Totes
The holidays are here again! And while most of us are very busy with planning out every perfect detail of our holiday plans and gatherings, we sometimes forget about keeping up with our everyday earth-friendly practices. You have your decorated potted tree you have been keeping for years and your full menu of organic and locally-grown foods entirely planned out, but there is always more to do to keep your earth-friendly lifestyle during the holidays. One very wasteful item we are all guilty of over-using at the holidays is wrapping paper.
Think of all of the wrapping paper used every time you exchange presents! Every single package under the tree and even some too large to fit under the tree are almost always covered in brand new wrapping paper. People often wrap paper over their gift boxes, which are generally good enough of a wrapping device entirely on their own. Some people save wrapping paper, but it can be very difficult to salvage decent sections of it after being damaged by tape, folded around corners, and crinkled in handling. A lot of the fun of giving and receiving presents is the element of surprise. The anticipation of watching someone open something you know they will love is a great feeling, and the anticipation felt by your loved one as he or she unwraps the present is also too enjoyable to give completely unwrapped presents. So we suggest you save the paper and wrap these holiday treasures using tote bags. Not to mention, each bag is like an additional present!
Larger tote bags like the Liberty Bags Boat Tote at 19” by 12” by 4.5” are very sturdy, stylish, and will hold a lot of presents.
