Instead of using wrapping paper on your next gift, why not just pop your gift into a handy re-usable shopping bag! They're .99¢ at most places and almost everyone can use one more. And if they have enough... they can always use it to re-gift to someone else.
Now, if you really want to take 're' to another level. Fill the re-usable bag with gifts from the earth.
We just filled a couple of these for friends birthday's last week.
My horticultural wife went skampering around the yard collecting bulbs and tubers of some of her favorite flowers.
We re-used some old cotton shears to wrap up each type of plant.
Look how cute...
My creative wife re-purposed the old curtain tie backs to make little tags to identify each type and offer planting tips.
Then we popped them all into the re-usable bag.
whala!
still collecting kill-a-watt data... i will post the spreadsheet next week.

Tina beat me to the comment! I love this idea! Hopefully our yard will become full of pretty flowers someday so I can give someone a cool gift like this!
cool idea
You two should go on HGTV or maybe even the Martha Stewart show. Not that I watch Martha, but It's really a cool idea.
Is Maw flipping us the bird?
very pretty... and green of you guys!
wow! Now that's green in all shades!
What a unique idea for gifting. You two are the ultimate in coolness.
what an awesome idea!! i'll have to put that to use when next i gift something to someone.
I use those 99 cent bags a lot for wrapping all gifts, but using it for sharing bulbs is just a great idea.
