MY THOUGHTS
I received prints from the Spring Collection to review which included wrapping paper, bows, gift tags, and greeting cards. The paper products are very colorful, creative, and artistic. I love that the designs are based on artwork by students with special needs. The wrapping paper is a lot thicker than the rolled wrapping paper that I've used in the past; definitely higher in quality.
The size of the wrapper is very generous at 24" x 36", which affords wrapping a lot of different size or shape gift. I also like that it has a guide on the back side to help ensure that you are folding straight. There have been a couple of times when I've had to cut a new sheet of wrapping paper because I folded unevenly and wasn't able to cover the whole present - it just irks me when that happens.
The greeting card is blank which is nice so you can use it for any occasion. I chose the Poppies print and love it. Poppies just "say" summer to me. As for the bows, although they look and feel like a typical bow that you would find in a craft store, they are actually made of recycled plastic bottles. All the paper products are made with recycled materials, chlorine-free, and colored with vegetable-based inks, and are therefore recyclable.
Earth Presents has thoughtfully crafted a way for consumers to present gifts in a fun, artistic, and eco-friendly way. Whether or not you typically recycle wrapping paper, you can feel confident that these wrapping products are recyclable. Additionally, if you have eco-conscious friends, you can give these as gifts...why not? These would also be a good fundraising alternative for schools and organizations. These eco-friendly gift wrap may not be competitively priced compared to what you can typically buy at brick and mortar stores (wrapper is $5 for 2 sheets). However, purchase of these eco-friendly gift wrap not only creates awareness, but it does foster demand for eco-friendly consumable goods. In addition, a portion of Earth Presents sales support artists with disabilities.
A special thanks to Earth Presents for providing a gift wrap package to one my readers.
