Here are Top Ten Eco-friendly or Reusable Christmas Gift Wrap Ideas from some selected bloggers that are not only cute but also a sustainable way of giving not just at Christmas occasion. You can either reuse what you already got that you are not using or buy fabrics and fashion the way you like it.
The lists are not particularly in order as they are all pretty and unique touch about them.
7. Furoshiki Cloth - Oboro by Rikumo shop online (I'm not sponsored or paid by them but I think it's worth to see how much they sell per cloth wrap or to see the Japanese way of wrapping gifts traditionally).
I used to think that loneliness was meant for me. Like a message in a bottle lost out in the sea. But now that we're together, My whole world has been made new. I want to live my life for you. And every star up in the sky Has driven me to testify That I want to know you.
That's why God made the moon. For nights like these when we dream of all eternity. As the angels sing the twilight symphony. They sing la-de-de-de-da-da La-de-de-de-da-da tonight. That's why God made the moon.
There's a city in the distance, But it seems so far away. It's a place where lonely hearts await The Son to light their day. But up here I know it's silent. There's no sorrow to be found; Just heaven all around. And every star up in the sky Has driven me to testify That I want to know you.
That's why God made the moon. For nights like these when we dream of all eternity. As the angels sing the twilight symphony. They sing la-de-de-de-da-da La-de-de-de-da-da tonight. That's why God made the moon.
And we all must feel the same As we look up to a world that never ends. It's hard to think that this is all coincidence. Cause in the darkness we need light to find our way.
That's why God made the moon. For nights like these when we dream of all eternity. As the angels sing the twilight symphony. They sing la-de-de-de-da-da La-de-de-de-da-da tonight. That's why God made the moon.
Endless days and long hard journeys.
Mending hearts forever yearning.
This is what love is,
This is what love is.
Healing blind men by his touch.
Knowing that he cares so much.
This is what love is,
this is what love is.
And teaching us to love each other
as we love ourselves.
And laying down our lives for someone else.
And even when we fall,
he loves us through it all.
His gentle guiding hand
keeps understanding.
He knows the tears we cry,
he knows our hearts may lie.
For us again, he'd die.
That's what love is.
Suffering the world's rejection,
sacrifice and resurrection.
This is what love is,
this is what love is.
And in this world we live in,
there are no guarantees.
But there's one thing I'm sure of:
He died and rose for me.
His love has surely stood the test of time.
And even when we fall,
he loves us through it all.
His gentle guiding hand
keeps understanding.
He knows the tears we cry,
he knows our hearts may lie.
For us again, he'd die.
That's what love is.
He came and gave his life so we would know
He is what love is.
Now I know what love is.
And even when we fall,
he loves us through it all.
His gentle guiding hand
keeps understanding.
He knows the tears we cry,
he knows our hearts may lie.
For us again, he'd die.
That's what love is.
He would do it all again.
He would die for us again.
Cause that's what love is.
Every evening sky, an invitation
To trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In children's games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer
And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come
You are autumn
And everything in time and under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white, all creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you
When branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter
You are winter
And everything that's new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season's change
And so it will be
As You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring
So many things I've meant to say
So much I've meant to show
It's easy letting time go by
And to think somehow you'll know
So I wrote this song to just make sure
You never doubt it's true
That I thank God for you
I thank God for you
You spend yourself so freely
In the things you do for me
You're always there to lift me up
When I'm less than I should be
To earn the kind of love you give
There's nothing I could do
And I thank God for you
I thank God for you
I thank God because He's given me
A lover and a friend
With a heart that I can trust in
Through it all until the end
I thank God because you're more
Than I had ever hoped to find
No one else this side of heaven
Gives me so much peace of mind
The years have gone so quickly
Since we changed to one from two
But time has just intensified
The bond I share with you
And, yes, I'd do it all again to love you as I do
I thank God for you
I thank God for you
Recycling and upcycling is a critical part of our sustainable environmental awareness. Remember when we were still in primary to high school days and sometimes we have school projects out of recycled materials? I think if you live in the developing countries, recycling is already part of the lifestyles compared to the western countries where they will export their recycled overseas instead but at the same time, the western countries environment still littering around where I live in Australia. Mind you, school kids even litter over our backyard as we are just a fence away. There are many endless ideas for teachers to encourage their school kids to create projects out of recycled plastics and tins lying around. I believe it's time for Australia's schools to lead the way after China ban any recycled materials being exported from Australia anymore.
Top 10 recycled plastic decoration ideas online through my lens in no particular order. Make it counts to save our toxic plants and give life to our wildlife they deserve for our next generations before the "end of the world". There are many ideas out there but let's make it a bit sassy. 😎
Please check what materials and tools they used from each title link.
3. This project is selling on Etsy from someone else. It's a great project for schools to create and raise funds as well, sell them offline or online too? (link may not be available when sold, but it is costly if you do this right about AU$2,709.29) Although, it does not have to be this expensive? If the seller says, it's a thief, kinda but you're getting free advertising for your brilliant product. 😊
4. RECYCLED ART FROM PLASTIC BOTTLE - the photo is clear enough to follow. Simple but it looks useful art display. When you click the link, you will be in a treat for more excellent ideas from where I sourced it.
10. PHILIPPINES TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS STAR LANTERN - It's called PAROL - Every Christmastime, most cities, schools and small businesses create their unique STAR LANTERNS or PAROLS to sell, display or decorate the entire town. Most of the materials can be recycled, upcycled or used from raw materials like bamboo, coconut leaves and other plants to create brilliant decorations. If you haven't visited the Philippines at Christmas time, please do and enjoy the spirit of Christmas all around you. #itsmorefuninthephilippines indeed!

Don't forget to spread the awareness "Save The Bees" or "No Bees No Foods."
I do recommend to follow on Instagram @savethebeesaustralia account for internal research in Australia's care for the bees and knowing what bee honey to buy more sustainably.
