Environmental protection deserves special attention these days, and you don't have to give up on it during Christmas. In fact!
When packaging environmentally conscious gifts, use methods that reduce waste and support sustainability.
Recycling: look around your home to see if there is any usable wrapping paper, decorative bags, or shoe boxes left over from previous years. If you find it, then you have won the case, because you don't have to spend any money, but you also protect the environment.
Use of textile materials: think about packaging in which the packaging material itself can live longer. Wrap the gift in textile and just tie it with a ribbon.
A gift is a gift: the other gift can be wrapped in a scarf, tablecloth or any other large piece suitable for packaging. The good thing about this is that the recipient receives two pieces at the same time and neither ends up in the trash.
Recycled wrapping paper: in the case of already recycled wrapping paper, not much needs to be said.
The gift is also packaging: many gift items are packaged so beautifully by the manufacturer that it is unnecessary to think about additional packaging.
Textile bag: conscious buyers always have a textile bag in which the purchased products are placed. But the textile bag is also excellent as packaging for this very reason, since such a bag can have a long life.
Self-made natural: the packaging, made by our own hands, from naturally degradable materials is a great service. It's true that you have to take time, but this means extra attention to the person to whom we give the gift.
In terms of other decorations on the packaging, it is also worth thinking about natural materials. Pine branches, pine cones, dried oranges, and cinnamon sticks can all add great and fragrant decorations.
