If you want an ethical alternative to wrapping paper or just haven’t had the time/ money to pick some up, then why not try wrapping the goods up in good ol’ fashioned newspaper and jazzing it up with some coloured tape?
My photography skills may not be award-winning, but I think it creates rather cute, quirky presents (and is a little kinder to the environment, of course!). I only hope that my sister agreed – Happy Birthday sis!
You could use anything really – ribbons, coloured glue, painted pasta… – and finding newspaper pages with stories and images the birthday girl or guy would like is a nice touch too.
(NB. Check all newspaper clippings for horrific, un-birthday-ish stories and images; that would not create the fun festive feeling you’re going for!)
