Wrappin' It Up

Curbside trash spikes 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day!  Reduce your garbage this year!

Rethink your Gift Wrap

* Use old Maps- Everyone uses GPS these days! Recycle the maps you have stashed in your glove box! 


*Seek out hand-woven baskets at your natural health food store. Most are fair trade and brightly colored. Fill them with goodies such as seasonal fruit or nuts! (Makes two gifts in one)

*Use previous years' photo calendars! Find some with beautiful scenery or life quotes. Right now you can find 2014 calendars on clearance for a few dollars!



*Newspapers, comics, paper bags, scrap paper, or anything you have lying around the house! 


*Add a little nature to your brown Kraft paper- head outdoors and collect berries, evergreen clippings, pine cones, for a festive feel! Attach with twine or ribbon.


*Fabric- think T-shirts, a scarf, dishcloths.

*Mason jars- I have a plethora of jars from my monthly juice box. Ideas: cookie, hot cocoa, or soup mixes! Here is a great website for gifts to put in mason jars: http://www.tipjunkie.com/post/48-homemade-gifts-in-a-jar-2/


*Don't forget about the gift tags! Save the holiday cards you receive and use them to cut out tags for next year!
