Do you reuse gift wrap? Here are some things that I’ve thrifted to reuse as gift wrap each holiday season: ⭐️ tablecloths ⭐️ napkins & handkerchiefs (matching napkins sewn together can be used for larger gifts) ⭐️ Scarves (like from @wrappr) ⭐️ Cloth bags (like the ones your sheet sets come in) ⭐️ Pillowcases ⭐️ Curtains (can be used as gift wrap or to cover larger gifts like bikes or toy kitchens) As long as you can fold the fabric into a square before wrapping the gift, it works well when using the furoshiki style wrapping technique. Comment WRAP for a few tips and tricks to wrap gifts in cloth fabric.

This is 36! ✨ They tricked me, and it was everything lol! The dads kept the kids and the moms celebrated me. I’m so grateful for these women right here. I love surprises, every gift was something they know I absolutely love, and A TIME WAS had just eating and singing karaoke in the living room lol. Happy new year to me! 🥰 it’s been amazing bringing it in surround by such a loving community.

I miss my old clothes 😩🥺 especially those one of a kind thrift finds that I just couldn’t fit anymore, no matter how hard I tried it how long I held onto them. But I tried to find good homes for them 🥹💚 Do you miss some of your old items too?

A quick little toy clean out and swap for some new toys to place under the tree for Christmas ✅ @usefullco is a sustainable refill shop in Dallas, TX and this weekend they have a table out at their main shop for people to come in and swap toys! The toy swap table will be there through Sunday 11/17/24. Don’t have this in your city? HOST YOUR OWN TOY SWAP! All you need is a location and some parents who want to get rid of some toys (isn’t that ALL OF US? 🥴😂). I’ve hosted clothing and toy swaps with @thisyearelle, @tiyunnaj, @crunchymamadfw, and other friends in the past at my home and in their shop. Social media makes it easy to connect to parents and folks who want to swap. I also plan on reaching out to my local @buynothingproject Facebook group moderators this year to see if we can host a virtual toy swap in a post within our Facebook group. Just set the date, place, and time to make it happen. Spend less, use less resources, and still make the holidays merry & memorable 💚 Have you attended a swap event before?
