Hate all that wasteful holiday packaging? You know — The unrecycled, non-soy-ink wrapping paper, the yards of plastic ribbon — not to mention the flagrant, pointless consumerism.

But hey, we all love heartfelt expressions of love and friendship, yes? Which is where Simply Green: Giving comes in.

Written by Danny Seo, who wrote Simply Green: Parties, this Giving book finally came out earlier this week. It’ll show you how to make gift tags out of business cards, barbells out of unwanted CDS, frosted boxes out of old dryer sheets, and gift ribbon out of old VHS tapes.You’ll even learn how to shop at hardwarestores with a green point of view.

But my fave trick in the book — Rinse off those potato chip bags, flip ‘em inside out, then use them to make fancy silver wrapping paper for your gifts!

So — Give green, and read The Worsted Witch’s review here :)
