daisy bullet Cutting Down on Holiday Clutter daisy bullet

How much time do you take in picking out your Christmas wrapping paper? If you're like me, you like to go with a slightly different look or theme each year. Sure, the gift looks great once it's all wrapped in that wonderful paper you took time in picking out, but it doesn't stay so great for very long. Within seconds it's ripped to shreds as the recipient tears in to see what you gave them.

This year, consider giving your gifts in something besides wrapping paper. There are all sorts of containers out there that could be used as your "outer wrapper". Decorative boxes, tins, bags, and plastic lidded containers can be the "outer wrapping" for your gifts. These containers come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and motifs. No tape needed. Just add a bow, ribbon, or curly cues and that's it! Two gifts in one! Actually, it's three gifts in one because it leaves the recipients with less of a mess to pick up after opening presents.

Once the holiday has passed, the container can be used in their home in a number of ways, such as storing holiday decorations, photos, or candles. The recipient could also use the container in their organizing projects. If the gift bag is a solid color, rather than a christmas motif, it can easily be used as a catchall at the foot of the stairs, or laundry room. You may even consider including a list of ideas of how the container can be used throughout the home.

This is just another way to cut down on unnecessary holiday clutter. Try it!
