Holiday time is coming, and the hunt for green gift-wrapping options is on! I know it’s a little early to be thinking about the holidays, but I couldn’t resist talking about the gorgeous gift adornments from BellyBuzz. These upcycled bows are made from discarded magazines and are perfect for dressing up a gift box. The bows are self-adhesive and are even sturdy enough to use more than once! She’s also happy to do custom orders with whatever color or magazine preference you’ve got.

I think this set made from the February 2008 Issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine is probably my favorite. I really dig the mix of warm earth tones and pretty pastels. The set made from a 2007 issue of Esquire is pretty awesome, too, though! Those reds would be nice for a boy gift.

What do you do to green up your gift wrapping?
