Often, the cheapest and most eco-friendly solutions are secondhand. Whether that's thrifting, estate sale shopping, or rummaging around your own home, all of these solutions reduce demand for new gift packaging. Give your packaging items a good scrub with some anti-bacterial dish soap for peace of mind and get gifting! If shopping secondhand isn't an option, look for packaging made from renewable resources that can be composted at home (best) or recycled. Butcher and compostable parchment paper fit this bill nicely and are economical choices!
