Have you noticed that at times being thrifty and being "green" coincide? Pretty cool, huh? Since I always need help being thrifty and am finding there are always more ways of going green I love finding a tip that overlaps! It also makes for a great learning time for my daughter! Today I thought I'd cover a few tips for a Thrifty & Green Christmas!
-The first thing- wrapping gifts!
There are so many ways of being thrifty and green!
recycle gift bags!
use comic/newspaper to wrap in
use a part of the gift to wrap in (a kitchen towel for a hostess gift!)
old maps
brown paper bags from the grocery store
reuse paper from the year before
Here's a great clip from youtube to give you some ideas!
These are just a few ideas! Go crazy! Let your kids help!
