When I buy a holiday gift, I like to picture how the giftee will react when they receive it.
I want the experience to be warm and personal, thoughtful and meaningful.
I also like to think of the most sustainable ways I can wrap the gift.
Here at Sky Organics, our sustainability journey hasn’t been a straight line. It has, however, evolved into something that makes me deeply proud. Though it’s founded in our products, our commitment to constantly improving our sustainability efforts also extends to our packaging.
For most people, conventional wrapping paper and tape are par for the course this time of year. The thing is, they create a fair amount of waste. That isn’t my favorite way to celebrate the holidays. With that, here are some environmentally-friendly gift wrapping methods you might consider instead.
BEST ECO-FRIENDLY GIFT WRAPS
There are a number of sustainable gift wrap options to choose from.
Reusable Fabrics
You can make sustainable wraps from a variety of materials. Cotton, linen, and even repurposed scarves work well. The idea here is for your loved one to receive a beautifully-wrapped gift—plus an appealing wrap they can use for future gift-giving occasions
Furoshiki Cloths
Originally from Japan, furoshiki is a traditional cloth that makes for truly elegant gifting. The idea here is to wrap items with fabric and then tie knots to secure the package. The fabric can be reused as needed, offering a zero-waste approach this holiday season.
Recycled Paper
This option is a classic, and with good reason. Lots of companies offer wrapping paper featuring post-consumer recycled paper to minimize their environmental impact. Selecting wrapping paper made from recycled materials is a simple yet worthwhile choice.
Newspapers and Magazines
Reap the benefits of upcycling by using old newspapers or magazines. This approach will give any gift a unique look. More importantly, it’ll significantly reduce the paper waste we so often see around the holidays.
Reusable Gift Bags
Invest in reusable gift bags made from durable materials like cloth or jute.
These bags can be used time and again, eliminating the need for single-use wrapping paper. Talk about a sustainable tradition for the whole family.
Mason Jars
Picture a handful of Lip Balms and Butter Sticks from Sky Organics. Not only are these products fun and festive holiday gifts, but they also look great tucked in a Mason jar. Adorn your jar with cloth and ribbon for a sustainable look.
LAST MINUTE GIFT WRAPPING
But make your gifts look nice and thoughtful!
One of the best parts about sustainable holiday gift wrapping is that you can usually find the materials you need at the last minute. The environmental perks don’t hurt either—yet the gifts will still look nice and thoughtful.

SUSTAINABLE HOLIDAY
PACKAGING WITH SKY
ORGANICS
At Sky Organics, ecoconscious packaging is simply part and parcel of what we do (pun intended).
Almost half of our products come in sustainable glass bottles. Any bottles made from plastic are created from 100% recycled material.
Plus, our cartons are made with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper. (Paper is awarded this label when the FSC pledges it’s made from responsibly-sourced wood fiber. It’s a crucial standard in our industry.)
We even have personal care items in tubes made from sugarcane and compostable paper. Because Sky Organics doesn’t just talk sustainability—we try and live it. And while there’s still progress to be made, we pledge to keep working toward our environmental responsibility goals.
In the meantime, I hope you feel good buying your holiday gifts with us. I hope our focus on USDA Certified Organic ingredients brings you comfort, and that our commitment to sustainable packaging inspires you.
So please have a wonderful, sustainable holiday season. On behalf of the entire Sky Organics family, we hope to see you again in 2024. (Don’t forget to let us know what you think about the sustainable gift wrapping options in this post!)
