Gift packaging with upcycling potential

The gift has been found, now all that's missing is a tasteful "wrapping". Decorative wrapping paper is one option, but another is reusable packaging that is also a gift in itself. Beeswax wraps are perfect for wrapping gifts in an attractive and fragrant way. Towels and cloth bags are also very suitable. Glass storage bottles, which are protected from light and aroma, not only hold your gift safely, they can also be used in many other places in the household. Even the household twine that you use for tying will later have a second career in everyday life. And if you want to really prolong the moment of anticipation, you can wrap your gift in the Japanese trick box. As you can see, there are virtually no limits to your imagination.

Tip 1: Beeswax cloth instead of wrapping paper

The beeswax cloth made of pure cotton is a resource-saving alternative to cling film and aluminum foil. Reusable as often as desired and easy to clean, it helps to save waste in the household. Even during production - all steps are done by hand - and in the choice of ingredients, attention is paid to the environment. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation, just as the wax for the coating is obtained from controlled organic beekeeping in the vicinity of the manufacturing family business in the Waldviertel region. Thus, the cloth also clearly exudes the pleasant inherent odor of beeswax. In addition, the wax coating contains only a portion of tree resin from the Austrian black pine, which provides adhesion, and sunflower oil, which provides suppleness.

Tip 3: Glass storage bottles as gift packaging

These simple bottles, tightly sealed with a ground glass stopper, can be used in many ways in the household: for example, for light-protected, aroma-safe storage of spices, home-dried tea and kitchen herbs from your own garden, medicines, etc. Available in two versions, each in Braun- or clear glass.

Advent decoration can be so many things. In the private sphere, it ranges from the Advent wreath or the arch of lights in the window to decorative elements, which some lovingly, others disparagingly call "Stehrümchen" (and whose quantitative dimensions can vary significantly from person to person), to the central element of the Christmas feast, the magnificently decorated tree. The nativity scene is also an indispensable part of the Christmas decoration in many places.
