I was able to scrounge up some of past years wrapping paper. That means that only a couple of select lucky people will receive their gifts wrapped in newspaper this year. Sorry to everyone else! :)
One way to consider reducing waste this year is to give gift certificates. However, I am still not a fan of wasting plastic. That said, if you do receive a re-loadable gift card this year, consider saving it for a future gift. Even better... why not donate money to someone's favorite charity? (I hear some groans out there.) I for one would be more than pleased to "receive" that gift.
~And, along the same line, thanks to Grateful Lisa and her big heart of ideas,why not "adopt" a child this year? What would be a greater joy than to give money every month to help raise a child? Giving doesn't have to be only during this time of giving. Doesn't get much greener than that!

Hi Kirsten,
I LOVE your ideas. I know some folks are gonna be perplexed by gifts wrapped in Hubby-Honey's Wall St. Journal pages tied with green ribbon, but oh well. :-)
For more info on sponsoring a child, folks can check out http://www.worldvision.org. Thanks for the kind mention.
Thank you Lisa for the link!
... And, I truly LOVE that you are wrapping gifts with Wall St. Journal pages! What a kick!!! :)
