Tea Towel Wrapping Paper
My wife and I decided to go the environmentally friendly route this Festivus so we purchased tea towels to wrap our gifts in. Each present was wrapped in one or more towels held together by a simple stitch that comes apart easily when pulled. The towels were purchased at The Bay and cost about a dollar each. Although we didn't think it would be appropriate to reuse existing tea towels, I plan on reusing any tea towels used as wrapping paper that may come our way.
Next year we might end up using bath or beach towels, a blanket, or a tarp depending on the size of the gift.
