To boycott wrapping paper this Christmas ?

It’s terrible for the environment and completely pointless ! Who’s with me? Old newspaper or pretty reusable cloth instead? My little one turned 1 this weekend and the cardboard and wrapping paper rubbish at the end of it all made me feel a bit ill! Does anyone do this already and have any tips ?

I use playsilks to cover birthday presents and Christmas presents go in a sack and gift bags so just use the same each year.

I bought recycled paper (brown) and it's enough for several years worth.

Within the family we use and reuse gift bags. For kids I also fold tissue paper (also reused) over the top so they get that ta-da moment.

I do wrap presents for kids parties etc. Have almost entirely cut down on gift giving for anyone outside immediate family though, apart from schoolfriends' parties obviously.
