I love these packages from Martha Stewart.

Notice they're embellished with real, natural greenery.

Festive grocery bags
re-used as gift wrap! 

The bags were already printed with a holiday theme from Trader Joe's.

I love the white  version of kraft paper gift wrap. 

The peppermint stripe border on the printable shipping label is fresh and fun.

Talk about upcycling! 

Toilet paper tubes are re-purposed into gift card holders.  Now that's clever packaging!

Furoshiki
 

Picture
Furoshiki is the Japanese art of wrapping gifts with fabric.

A scarf, baby blanket, and dish towels are just a few ideas for using a gift as the wrapping to cover another gift inside. 

Do a search for Furoshiki "How-To" videos on
You Tube to get even more ideas.

A Fun Example


Here's a great, outside-the-box gift wrap idea that is very Furoshiki-ish, don't you think!?
