it’s a wrap!
We need to focus on Christmas, people, and we need to do it fast!!
Here’s a unique and easy wrap (plus gift) idea to help the cause:
Use one of those great little reusable shopping bags that hold a ton and then neatly fold back up to keep in your purse or briefcase, as a gift bag. They’re available everywhere now and not a lot more expensive than really nice gift wrap.
The above shot is from the Envirosax website. I have a couple bags from the ‘Envirosax’ line in my purse at all times and the designs are great. Their site will shoot you to a short video on youtube that shows you how to wrap with one. It’s pretty straightforward but with the good tip of safety pinning the bottom points underneath your box so it looks a little neater. You can find Envirosax at tons of retailers or you can purchase them on their site, although I noticed they were a bit more $$ online.
This shot is from a line called RuMe Bags:
I also loooove a line called Baggu from the US because they do such great solid colours and their website is brilliant ~ literally!
I couldn’t help but grab a few images to show you…..
The site says they will ship to Canada for $7.00 and I love it that they offer not only single colours but 3 or 5 bags in a sac. Not cheap $22.00 and $35.00 US respectively, but so great for doing a full grocery shop and they last a long time….
Another great gift idea! One for you and five for me….

I haven’t seen these type of bags before. They have lots of beautiful colours to choose from! I have something made of a sturdier vinyl, which folds up into a smaller package, though not as small as these.
It would be interesting to see if the sewing pattern companies sell a pattern for a bag like this. It would make great use of scrap or reused fabric pieces.
If I’m using the regular paper gift bag variety, I like to choose something that can be re-used, something with a generic pattern. I’m becoming more and more eco-conscious.
What a great idea for a colorful gift wrapping. A fun way to save the planet.
