The MomSpeak: Free alternatives to gift wrap

The MomSpeak

I have finally given in to my distaste for gift wrap. In this day and age, spending money we don't have to waste natural resources we don't have makes no sense whatsoever. But responsible gift-wrapping doesn't have to mean ugly gifts, as expounded upon in my next MomSpeak post:

Free alternatives to gift wrap

I mentioned this post to a friend and had no idea she was the Queen of Reuse-It. Last year she sewed together pages from Ranger Rick magazine to create rolls of recycled wrapping. My ideas aren't nearly as far-reaching, but I'm hoping yours will be. Leave your tips in the comments of the MomSpeak post!
