Sustainable gift wrapping is not that difficult to achieve. In fact, there are simple and inexpensive ways to lovingly wrap your gift without harming nature. All you need is a little dexterity.
1) Furoshiki: Sustainable gift wrapping without paper
This cloth wrapping technique originated in Japan and has been known there for over 1000 years. This sustainable packaging is particularly practical if the cloth is already part of the gift or if you have fabric at home that you no longer need. Our cloth, for example, is a gift from Snapchat (thank you again for the early Christmas package), which we are reusing.

2) Baskets made from tree-free paper as sustainable gift packaging
Admittedly, tree-free paper can appear a bit colorless. So you can really let your creativity run wild and add paintings and decorations! You can also easily adapt this sustainable gift packaging to your needs by varying the thickness of the paper. Just give it a try!

3) Waste paper becomes sustainable gift packaging
If you don't have tree-free paper at home, it's best to use waste paper. We opted for a stylish magazine. This offers a lot of possibilities for homemade bags in all sizes and colors. Of course, you can also use tree-free paper for this.

4) Sustainable gift packaging: Fabric bags
If you like to wrap your gift in a reusable bag, you can either sew a bag yourself or use our TreeShopper Bags made from 100% cotton. Where your belongings usually find space, gifts of all kinds are also well stored. A sustainable gift packaging that can still be used later!
For small gifts like jewelry, the cases of our TreeGlasses are particularly suitable. The cases are made of 100% organic cotton and were produced from fabric remnants of our TreeShirt production. This also minimized our waste - a particularly sustainable packaging.
