Navigating mindful gifting
In a year like no other, with so many good and bad things happening around, it was somehow intuitively that the last bit of it will just top it all off. We are all in a complete rush, timed activities, with responsibilities to be completed before the holidays, and so on. Not to mention the preparation itself for Christmas and New Year’s (please stay safe and keep your loved ones safe too!). As I hope that in the coming days I will manage to clear my mind a little bit, I now have to face the hard fact: what do we do about the gifts?

Making a Case for Homemade Gifts. First Place in Mindful Gifting Challenge.
I grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family. Most of my relatives wouldn't even acknowledge Christmas when it came around. I never grew attached to the holiday or developed any expectations because it was never emphasized growing up. My aunt told me Santa didn't exist when I was five and killed the magic then and there.

5 Sustainable Gift Wrapping Hacks
So you followed my Eco Gift Guide and want to go above and beyond on your sustainable gift-giving. During the holiday season, we throw away literally TONS of garbage. A Stanford study shows that Americans throw away more than 25 million tons of garbage from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. As easy as the thought of recycling paper may be, most wrapping paper isn’t recyclable. While shiny, laminated wrapping paper may be adorable, it could include toxic, unusable materials, and incorporating them in your recycling bin with other paper products will make the whole load un-recyclable. Approximately 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper are produced each year, and about 2.3 million pounds of it ends up in landfills. With that in mind, here are a few excellent low and no waste hacks to wrap any gift.

Inexpensive Gift Giving
The gifts you give for the Holiday’s don’t always need to be something that is purchased. Stores can be nuts around this time of year and overwhelming, something that I personally try to avoid at all costs.
