Reusable AND Attractive Gift Bags

It is hard to believe the amount of trash...namely shopping bags, boxes, wrapping paper, bows, ribbon, etc...our family creates around the holidays.  Multiply that times the number of households in America and it becomes an overwhelming amount of trash.

I found these online by a company called Living Ethos.  They have some gorgeous designs and you can select your design especially for your occassion.  The bags come in 4 different sizes, are made of 100% cotton, and the ribbon is made of recycled PET.  Their fabrics are printed using fiber reactive dyes, one of the most environmentally benign type of dyes on the market.

These are the perfect bags for the holidays.  When your family has unwrapped all the presents, you can launder (if needed) and store for the next use.  Your gift wrap will definitely be one that keeps on giving!

How eco-friendly is that!

(Bugaboo) Red

How adorable is that canopy with treasu(red) on it!I have long been a fan of (RED), and I especially love the red t-shirts from gap with a word on it ending in (red). Now, (RED) has partnered with Bugaboo! They have a small line of products for this partnership and they will donate 1% of all revenue to the Global Fund. I am sure you all have heard about the project by now, but for those who may not have, the Global Fund invests in African AIDS programs and has a special emphasis on women and children.

A great cause and a great company...what a fabulous partnership!

Envirosax - You can't have enough

I have been toting these bags around in my diaper bag for a while now. When rolled up, it is the size of a sushi roll. They are so practical and useful in many situations...and look great too. The bag is washable and waterproof, making it perfect for change of clothes. Out come the clean clothes and in go the dirty. Buy a few and keep them stashed in different places!



Envirosax has a kids series perfect for toting around dolls, art supplies, sports clothing/gear, etc. Check out the adorable "Baa, Maa & Paa" design below!
