Starting this year, you can do what my mom has always done. Save any savlabe nice bows, ribbons. Make gift cards out of Christmas cards you have received by simply cutting the inner printed back side off and folding, doesn’t work with every card but alot will work.Going green doesn’t necessarily mean you are already doing it, it can be a new policy in your home. This policy of my moms was to save money, now she knows shes been doing her part for years! We get the best looking presents in town! Mom has all this organized and put away with reuse in mind while packing. If you came over, you’d never know any of it had been used before, some have been used for over 20 years. Nice boxes too she saves, forgot to mention that.
