Christmas eco tips on gift wrapping

Now that you had your Thanksgiving turkey and are thinking about Christmas, I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to drive and waste gas to go shopping for gifts. You can do all your Christmas shopping on Etsy. It’s a great place to buy handmade goods, support artisans all over the world, and find some great deals.

I am offering FREE SHIPPING until Christmas on all U.S. orders. Sorry International shoppers, shipping is higher for international shipments so I can’t offer you the same but you’ll receive a free gift with your order.

I will be listing new items frequently so check back often. If there is something you see but need more or less pieces, please contact me.

Green Holiday Tips:

Don’t gift wrap with new wrapping papers. Put the gifts in gift bags that can be re-used every year. If you must wrap, use brown craft paper (from supermarkets), newspaper, magazines, and reuse saved wrapping papers from last year.

Use saved boxes like cereal boxes, shoe boxes, jewelry boxes, hat boxes, etc.

Use gift tags that can be converted to ornaments, serving double purpose.

Use shredded paper instead of plastic bubble wraps.

Try not to buy impractical gifts that end up in trash. Give a little thought to your gift giving.

Try giving “green” gifts instead of commercialized plastic gifts.

And please support local crafts and artisans – it saves gas on shipping.

And most of all, have fun shopping!
