Wrappily Gift Wrap

Elizabeth, Marketplace Editor here, confessing to a full-blown gift-wrapping obsession. In past years I’ve spent dozens of hours not only wrapping gifts, but even bedazzling them — a totally unsustainable choice, I know! This year, I’m ditching the glitter tape and stick-on rhinestones and switching to Wrappily, a company that takes the waste out of gift wrap. Wrappily has repurposed old newspaper printers to manufacture cheerfully printed designs on 100% recycled newsprint. The wrapping paper can be reused, recycled once again, or even put in the compost, where it should break down in about six weeks. Compostable, biodegradable ribbons and bows add to the fun.
