This week, here are a few ideas about eco-friendly wrapping paper:
There are two main ways to ensure your wrapping paper is eco-friendly, firstly, you could opt for recycled brown paper (which is sold almost everywhere now). Secondly, you should avoid glitter at all costs, as mentioned last week, glitter is made from microplastics and very difficult to recycle.
If you are thinking of using brown paper this year here are a few ideas to make it more festive:
