With Mother’s Day coming on May 8th, let’s not forget Mother Earth. A little creativity goes a long way and mom will appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Here are 5 Green Gift Wrapping Tips:

*Purchase a gift with sustainable packaging- Here at Scandle, our gift sets use packaging made from the Romblon leaf. The plant, grown in the Western Pacific islands, has fragrant leaves used as an ingredient for cooking custards, puddings, and herbal teas. These leaves are also weaved for our reusable gift tote bag!

*Map it out- Old maps are great for gift wrapping. You can also mark favorite spots or place stickers on cities where you’ve traveled together!

*Gift your gift- Wrap your gift with another one! Use creative packaging like scarves, blankets, buckets, or wicker baskets that mom will use again.

*Use household items- Instead of throwing away old wallpaper, magazines, and shopping bags, make a collage for wrapping.

*Natural toppers- Instead of buying plastic baubles, top with natural flowers, leaves, or even cinnamon sticks!

Only 2 Days left to purchase a Scandle in April! This month $1 of each sale is supporting the Arbor Day Foundation.
