Here at Ulula, we\u2019re trying to make Christmas as sustainable as possible, right down to how we wrap our presents.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of lovely ways to wrap presents in an eco-friendly way. We\u2019ve gathered together a few suggestions for sustainable gift wrap: just what you need for your green Christmas!<\/p>\n<h2>Choose recycled and recyclable gift wrap<\/h2>\n<p>Happily, it\u2019s now a lot easier to buy wrapping paper that\u2019s made from recycled paper. Even better, a lot of paper can also be recycled itself. Avoid plastic-coated, foil or glittery paper, as these can\u2019t go into the recycling bin. However, if you end up with lots of unrecyclable wrapping paper this Christmas, hang onto it for next year.<\/p>\n<h2>Reuse old wrapping paper and gift bags<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s always one family member who seems happy to gather up the wrapping paper! Give them the task of separating out larger sheets and keeping them smooth. After Christmas, fold these neatly and store them flat in a dry place (they won\u2019t take up much room). They\u2019ll be perfect for wrapping next year\u2019s parcels.<\/p>\n<h2>Raid the recycling box<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, really! Old magazines, newspapers and brown paper can make great vintage-inspired wrapping paper (just make sure it\u2019s clean and dry\u2026). Wrap the presents in your repurposed paper, then give the parcels a glow up with ribbons, twine and sprigs of holly or other festive foliage. If you have brown paper, give the kids a crafty activity involving stamps and paint. Voila: your own printed Christmas wrap.<\/p>\n<p>Old maps and sheet music look fabulous. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have any of this knocking about your home, pounce on it now. A sheet music parcel tied with red ribbon is absolutely beautiful.<\/p>\n<h2>Make the wrapping part of the present<\/h2>\n<p>Wrapping paper isn\u2019t the best use of your Christmas budget. For just a bit more cost, you can invest in wrapping that becomes part of the present itself. Instead of buying a paper gift bag, pop the present in a hessian or fabric bag that the recipient will love. If you\u2019re giving someone natural beauty products for Christmas, \u201cwrap\u201d them in something like these cute fabric <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulula.co.uk\/products\/organic-cotton-small-pouch-burgundy-red\">pouches from Mela<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes brands do the work for you, like this beautifully packaged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulula.co.uk\/products\/dr-hauschka-winter-warming-bath-duo\">natural bath set<\/a> from Dr Hauschka. Why would that pretty box need additional wrapping?<\/p>\n<h2>Use sustainable fabric wrapping<\/h2>\n<p>As an alternative to conventional paper wrapping, try switching to fabric wrapping paper. This can be reused year after year, making it a great sustainable choice. The dilemma is, do you ask for it back or ask the recipient to reuse it themselves?<\/p>\n<p>If the present is for the kitchen, wrap it in an organic cotton tea towel &#8211; pretty <i>and<\/i> practical. Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulula.co.uk\/collections\/cooking-kitchen-dining\">kitchen collection<\/a> for inspiration.<\/p>\n<h2>Other tips for eco-friendly gift wrapping<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use as little tape as possible, because it needs removing before you can recycle the paper. Instead, use ribbon or twine.<\/li>\n<li>Evergreen leaves make lovely natural embellishments for your parcels.<\/li>\n<li>Tie on a couple of organic sweets or candy canes for an extra pretty touch.<\/li>\n<li>For gift tags, get in the habit of saving a few Christmas cards each year. Cut out sections of the pictures to make next year\u2019s tags. Make a hole with a hole punch and thread them with string or twine.<\/li>\n<li>Any scraps of old fabric that can\u2019t be used for clothing? Make your own fabric wrapping paper, or cut it into ribbons to decorate the presents.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t wrap at all! This doesn\u2019t work as well for surprises or kids\u2019 presents; however, instead of completely wrapping gifts, you could try simply decorating them with sprigs or foliage and re-used ribbon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Give Green Gifts From Ulula<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, the gift inside the sustainable wrapping needs to be eco-friendly, too! Here at Ulula, we have a great selection of green gifts for Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries, as well as adorable presents for new babies. Choose from natural beauty products, artisan-made gifts and yummy organic treats.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all love a beautifully wrapped Christmas present, but isn\u2019t all that discarded paper and tape a bit of a waste?
