The tradition of gift wrapping dates back to ancient China, where gifts were wrapped in paper to symbolize good luck and fortune. However, the modern practice of gift wrapping as we know it today began in the early 1900s. At that time, wrapping paper was a luxury item and was used only by the wealthy. It wasn't until the 1920s that wrapping paper became more affordable and accessible to the general public.

By incorporating eco-friendly and unexpected materials, you can elevate your present game and show your loved ones that you care about the environment. From using recycled materials to creating your own wrapping paper, there are many creative and innovative ways to wrap your gifts. It's my belief that by making small changes to our gift wrapping habits, we can make a big impact on the environment.

So, let's go beyond the bow and start wrapping our gifts in a more sustainable and stylish way.
