Some people are good planners. I am not one of those people.
I run to the mall hours before a party and try to find a gift. I spend the drive home convincing myself that I have leftover wrapping paper in some closet that does not exist. I get home and there is no wrapping paper. I have a difficult time reasoning with the fact that I should go out and spend $4.99 on something that someone, grinning ear to ear, will tear up and throw away right in front of my eyes. I am not the type to "throw away money" so instead, i've always recycled items that I have around the house to wrap gifts.
Use the inside of a shopping bag or a brown paper grocery bag
Wrap the present with the plain color facing the outside of the gift.
You can use the following items to turn this blank canvas into an artistic masterpiece.
· Grab some markers, crayons, or colored pencils and draw some cool art.
· If you have white paint, mix it with food coloring and paint something
· Cut out letters from a magazine and paste a personal message on the present.
· Go raid your Christmas decorations for:
o Garland
o Ribbon from an ordainment or string to make a bow
o Branches from a wreath
