{Giveaway Closed} VZWraps - Go Green In Your Holiday Gift Wrapping!







WRAPPING PAPER IS A WASTE:
VZWRAPS ARE AN ECO-FRIENDLY, ELEGANT,
TIME + COST SAVING SOLUTION FOR GIFT GIVING


Avoid the trash bag full of wrapping paper scraps, wrinkled scotch tape, and torn plastic bows. VZWraps fabric gift bags are an eco-friendly, convenient, elegant, and affordable alternative to traditional wrapping paper. The company strives to reduce trash by providing a reusable alternative with easy-to-use, beautiful fabric gift bags.

The bags are handmade in the U.S.A. from organic and traditional cotton with attached ribbons made from recycled materials. The eco-grosgrain ribbon is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, and the eco-satin is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. Drop your gift in, tie the bag closed, and your wrapping is done! Reuse the bags for years -- the attached ribbons won’t get lost.

Why use a fabric gift bag?

  • According to the Clean Air Council, an additional 5 million tons of waste is generated in the U.S. during the holiday season and a substantial portion of that is wrapping paper and shopping bags. Wrapping paper generally can’t be recycled because it is dyed or laminated, contains non-paper additives, or is too thin to have good-quality fibers.
  • Wrapping gifts the traditional way is time consuming and often difficult for odd-shaped packages. Did you ever try to wrap a stuffed animal, a tennis racket, or a toy piano? 
  • Reusable paper gift bags have been a common trend in recent years for simple gift wrapping, but they are flimsy and prone to falling apart after one or two uses. Plus they are generally made with non sustainable and non recyclable materials. A VZWraps fabric gift bag is a sustainable choice that will last forever.

VZWraps are the creation of Isabelle Vesey, a stay-at-home-mom from Haverford, PA.  Isabelle always enjoyed wrapping presents with beautiful papers and embellishments. However, as her environmental awareness grew she switched to recycled paper and reduced her use of plastic bows.  But one recent holiday season when she went to gather her wrapping supplies, she just couldn’t bring herself to wrap her presents in paper that was just going to get thrown away.  After a trip to the fabric store, she got out the sewing machine, and stitched up some beautiful gift bags. Not only did they look great under the tree, there was no bag full of trash after the presents were opened and the bags turned out to be a welcome time saver during the busiest season of the year.
Bags come in a wide variety of styles and patterns and you can shop by occasion for weddings, showers, birthdays, and holidays. Prices range from $3.25 for a mini bag to $12 for a large gift bag.



I had the pleasure of meeting VZWrap Fabric Gift Bags, at the Social Media Mom Mixer Holiday Showcase, and walked away with two mini bags. I am so excited that I will be using them with our Christmas Elves! My kids will find the the elves have left them a small gift in a mini VZWrap bag, as the material has elves on it. It will be a gift bag that will be reused for many years to come!

  1. The mini/gift card holder is so cute and could come in handy ... although I am sure my daughter would want something that requires the large bag!
