Making a list and checking it twice doesn't just apply to your holiday gifting. Thinking carefully about all your holiday choices can mean the difference between a slight seasonal increase in your garbage and a huge increase that will end up being added to the mountains of holiday waste created by millions of people across the world. What can you do to green your holiday this year and inspire others to cut waste? One way is to wrap gifts with reusables instead of disposables.
BOBO wrapping scarves are a great way to beautifully green your wrapping but you can also use things around the house to put a nice finishing touch on your gifts. Try these common household items that work great for wrapping presents:

Patricia Lee is the Founder and CEO of BOBO Wrap - a line of wrapping scarves that marry style with practicality, and have become recognized as an incredibly smart and relevant idea that is sourced and produced locally. Much like wrapping scarves, BOBO Wraps are multi-functional, sustainable, eco-luxe, convenient, custom fit and user-friendly. Patricia is also the author of "The Wrapping Scarf Revolution" - a book that helps say "no thanks" to paper and plastic - while exemplifying a simple, but ingenious tradition that Asians have used for centuries before the widespread use of disposable wrapping paper and disposable bags.
