So, maybe all of you already figure this out, but I've just had an epiphany.

This year, I am going to wrap some of my Christmas gifts in reusable grocery tote bags. We are already planning on giving many homemade jams and jellies, breads and cookies. It would be perfect to pack them up in a grocery bag.

Everyone I know is trying to use cloth grocery bags right now. My Grandma asked me if I had extras (of course I shared since I had plenty) and I know some people who have four or five but always end up needing one or two more. So, this seems like the perfect wrapping.

Stores like Whole Foods are even offering bags that aren't just plain colors with the store name. You can also use drawstring bags or wrap things in fabric. What about a wooden box for a child that can later be used as a toy box or for presents in the future? Or even a backpack if a new one is needed for school.

If you take some time to think about it, you can probably find lots of wrapping ideas that are really cool and almost as useful as the gift itself.
