Although gift paper and bags are not all that expensive to buy, many hesitate to spend a lot on these items because they are often ripped up or thrown away very soon after purchasing them. Although they make gifts look nice and pretty, they may seem to be a waste to some people. There are many easy and practical ways to recycle gift paper and bags.
First, gift paper and bags can be reused for more than just one gift. Gift bags can easily be folded up and stored for another use, which also makes them much more economical. Tissue paper, which is typically used inside the gift bags can even be ironed and flattened to make it look as good as new. Gift paper, if not ripped badly, can also be folded up and reused for future gifts.
Second, gift paper and bags can be used for things other than gifts. Gift bags can be used to store items for instance. Are you moving? If so, consider using tissue paper and gift paper to wrap items before putting them into boxes. Your breakables will be protected, and your used tissue paper or gift paper will serve another important use.
Third, if you don’t have a need for the gift paper or gift bags any longer, consider trying to sell them at your next garage sale. Perhaps you have a roll of wrapping paper that would be great for wrapping gifts for small children, and your children are too old for it. Put it in your garage sale with a twenty-five cent sticker on it, and you’re sure to get someone to snatch it up quickly. Gift bags are the same way. Maybe you just had a baby and are overflowing with baby gift bags. Stick them in your next garage sale at a reasonable price, and walk away with cash for items you didn’t even have to initially pay for!
Recycling and reusing your gift paper and bags is not only economical, but smart too. It takes little to no effort and will be beneficial to all involved.
