Christmas wrapping paper to swathe your gifts in
The fate of Christmas wrapping paper is never good – no sooner has it been taped in place than it is ripped off with gusto and consigned to the bin. But without it, there would be much less intrigue and the bottom of your Christmas tree would look rather sad. Here at House & Garden, we are big believers in the power of good paper, so we have wrapped up the best examples below.
Sustainable wrapping paper
There are ways to be more sustainable at Christmas and on the wrapping front, using fabric can be a wonderful alternative. There really is nothing more satisfying, for both the giver and receiver, than a beautifully wrapped Christmas gift, so the trick is to buy Christmas wrapping paper that is too nice to throw away. You can even reuse pretty papers to decoupage notebooks and diaries.
Avoiding foil and glitter can make the process more sustainable as well; if you stick to truly high-quality paper, it can usually be recycled as any other paper can. Take things one step further by wrapping gifts in fabrics that can be reused time and time again.
Whether you’re after hand-printed designs, the strikingly contemporary, or the incredibly luxurious, we’ve gathered together some of the best. And if all else fails, buy a big roll of brown paper and get potato printing!
