What Are Wrapsacks?
A reusable alternative to disposable paper gift wrap.
You've carefully chosen a thoughtful, earth-friendly gift ... why wrap it in gift wrap that will be tossed immediately, or even a paper gift bag that may be reused just a few times before being thrown out - and still needs throw-away tissue paper anyway, to make it look pretty? Instead, use a beautiful and endlessly reusable cloth gift bag from Wrapsacks that is a gift in itself!
Gorgeous, hand-dyed batik bags.
A broad array of styles for any occasion.
Attractive drawstring to tie the bag closed.
Wide variety of sizes for any gift!
You Choose Your Bag!
Choose the size and the fabric style for your unique gift bag!
Mini ~ Small ~ Medium ~ Tall/Wine ~ Large ~ X-Large
These are JUST A FEW sample swatches of the hand-dyed batik fabrics available!
Find fabrics and sizes appropriate for your Christmas gifts, baby showers, wedding gifts, birthday gifts, graduation, bar mitzvah, wine bottles, hostess gifts, and any holiday and every occasion!
What is Precycling?
Precycle before you recycle!
Precycling is trying to reduce waste by "pre-thinking" our purchases. While recycling is, of course, a positive thing, it still requires energy to transport the materials, melt them down and then re-manufacture items. Precycling tries to avoid the amount of stuff that gets chucked into landfills AND the recycling bin to begin with. Here are some tips:
Buy in bulk. Avoid individually wrapped items.
Buy items that come in recyclable packaging
instead of non-recyclable.
Avoid junk mail.
Use a computer instead of "real" magazines and newspapers.
Bring your own utensils with you instead of using plastic ones.
Use cloth handkerchiefs and napkins.
And of course, reduce and reuse as much as you can, first!

What About Paper Gift Bags Given to Me?
My Wrapsacks super-secret frugal tip!
I have several Wrapsacks that I use to give gifts just within my family, to my children and husband. I have used and reused these bags for years now! But with four children, as you might imagine, we receive many lovely paper gift bags. I use a few of these for my family, but most of them I keep for "regifting" - when we have a gift to give to someone outside the family. If my stack of paper gift bags gets too big, I bundle them up for donation to the local Goodwill store, to benefit not just the charity but those who need to shop there.

Wrapsacks also makes reusable cloth covers for greeting cards and gift card holders!
