You’ve made your list, checked it twice and nowww for the wrapping… If you’re like me, you have a love hate relationship with gift wrapping. You love putting your extra personal touch on a gift but you hate the time it takes for it all to just end up in the trash! It’s time to eliminate all those trash bags full of wrapping paper and ribbon while keeping the personal touch. Fabric gift wrap is an easy zero-waste solution that’s grounded in Japanese culture, called Furoshiki.
