Pick of the Week: Green Start Gift Wrap Kits
June 9th, 2011
Finding the perfect gift for Father’s Day can be an exciting—though maybe a little overwhelming, at times—search. But once you’ve picked out that special something that’s just right, you can safely move on to phase two of the gift-giving process: presentation.
Here, there are many choices: gift bags stuffed with tissue paper, brightly coloured ribbons and bows, and even homemade gift wrap decorated by the kids. This year, we’ve decided to go the green route, thanks to the adorable Earth-Friendly Gift Wrap Kits from Innovative Kids.
Part of the Green Start line, these kits will give you everything you need to wrap up a surprise for Dad. There are two sheets of hand-crafted paper (available in four different patterns), four gift tags and two pieces of raffia that you can use as ribbons. We’re loving this super-cute “pandamonium” set, featuring panda bears and polka dots.
Apart from being completely adorable, all the materials in the kit can be recycled, providing an opportunity for a positive, earth-friendly lesson for kids. And that’s the goal of the Green Start line, according to Innovative Kids: “By giving kids a green start, it will be that much easier for them to incorporate environmentally friendly practices into their everyday lives as they grow.”
A beautiful gift, a greener world—what could be better than that?
Pandamonium Gift Wrap Kit, $10, available at chapters.ca.
