ECO-FRIENDLY GIFT WRAPPING? This year, why not try FUROSHIKI - the Japanese way of wrapping things! No cello tape, no ribbon/string required! Use any square cloth (18in.x 18in. for example), as a guideline the cloth should be 3 times the size of what needs to be wrapped. Second hand scarfs are great for that and can be part of the gift or can be reused! Find the folding instructions online!
