When it comes to gifting, there can be a lot of waste involved. There’s the packaging of the gift itself (think kids toys!), the wrapping paper, sticky tape, ribbon, gift bag, card, envelope… Ugh!

But this doesn’t have to be the case. There are plenty of unwasteful options available.

Firstly, it makes sense to use what you already have. I have a few rolls of gift wrap that I bought years ago that are tucked up in the hard to reach space in my linen cupboard that will not go to waste. I like to save this for gifting people we don’t know all that well. No one wants to be judged straight up by an odd looking gift!
