I think it is time to stop using wrapping paper. What are the alternatives?

[Meglet]

I'm going to be good and stop using wrapping paper once my current bits are used up, the sight of all of the waste in the bin after xmas (and birthdays) makes me .

Does anyone have any inspirational alternatives?

I'm off to google compostable paper to see it it exists........

Oh just noticed the date on the OP! Wouldn't be surprised if I wrote exactly the same thing on this thread two years ago!
Oh well at least it's topical
