When it comes to wrapping gifts, it’s time to think “outside the box!” Instead of the typical paper and ribbon, get creative and do some good for the environment, too.  Presents can be wrapped in a crocheted scarf or hat, which becomes another gift in itself.  Or put kitchen items inside a shiny spaghetti pot topped off with a dishtowel bow!  Kids pajamas or toys could be “wrapped” in a cartoon character pillow case, or bubble bath could be wrapped in a fluffy towel.  The presentation can be just as fun as the gift itself.  The added benefit is there is a lot less mess to clean up when everything is unwrapped!
