Another fine reason to continue your print subscription to the local paper (or pick one up at the store) - the San Francisco Sunday Chronicle is so super sleek and shiny and non-transferable, print-wise that it makes for the ultimate eco-friendly gift wrap.
At $3 a pop, it's a three-way win. Not only do you get to read the newspaper at your leisure, each section doubles up as a hip option for wrapping gifts at a savings on most pricey gift wrap plus it entertains and informs the recipient at its final destination.
I dare say these sturdy sheets could go on in the recycling circle several times around, if appropriately whipped away after opening.
In this experimental instance, it was fun to witness the birthday boy perusing each story that graced the exterior gift packaging, given all the more mileage to each reporter's work.
Best thing since fish-and-chips, I'd say! The only draw-back being the obit-section, that's taking recycling a tad too far. Best save those sad stories for the compost bin.
