Wrap Presents in Reusable Grocery Bags
Instead of using wrapping paper or paper gift bags I use reusable grocery tote bags. I watch for bags which do not have printed advertisements on them. I do not pay more than $1.00 a bag.

Food Packaging Boxes as Gift Wrapping
Why buy packaging boxes for money? Instead of throwing away packaging boxes (such as cereal boxes, cake boxes or any box that is clean on inside), I save them for use in gift wrapping any items that need boxes.

Make Gift Tags Out of Junk Mail
Make gift tags out of junk mail! What a good way to save $ and have an afternoon of fun with the kids. First save some colorful junk mail mailings and envelopes with plastic windows on the back.

Decorate Presents With Useful Items
When I wrap presents, I don't use bows. For boys, I use a matchbox car, small ball, etc.; for girls I use hair accessories, pencils, etc.

Gift Bags Instead of Wrapping Paper
The bags can be used over and over, in fact in our family it's fun to go to a party and see a bag you bought being used again. I have started to give gifts in the reusable grocery bags.

Use Wallpaper as Wrapping Paper
I have found that leftover wallpaper and shelf lining paper are an excellent source of gift wrapping and shipping paper. I find rolls or partial rolls at garage sales for very little, then use it to wrap gifts or mail packages.

Making Personalized Gift Wrap
To make personalized gift wrap for Mom's, Dad's and grandparents use a common brown grocery bag. Cut along one side in the corner crease to the bottom of the bag, then turn and finish cutting out the bottom of the bag leaving a nice rectangle sheet of paper.

Decorate Plain Gift Bags
I keep tons of gift bags of all sizes around my house. Instead of going out to buy gift bags I reuse the ones the I have around the house by printing something off the printer and sticking it to the out side of the bag.

Reusing Gift Bags
Those gift bags are great and they last and last. Don't throw out those you receive! Re-use them - And if you have a backlog, you can swap with friends! A buddy of mine passes along his, as he never bothers to wrap anything!
