According to Sundale Research, in 2017 people in the U.S. spent a total of 12.7 billion on gift wrap, including wrapping paper, tissue and gift bags. What a waste.

Another pretty option is wrapping gifts in brown paper from packages or grocery bags and sprucing them up with an evergreen twig or dehydrated orange slice and cinnamon stick.
