Furoshiki for Christmas

It December already! 
You know what that means.
Christmas is here!
Just 24 days to go.

I'm not sure if you guys were able to do your gift shopping.
Me, I'm still not finish.
Usually I already bought presents around October, but it has been a busy last quarter for me.

Anyway, for those who are finished with gift shopping and is already in the gift-wrapping stage, I have a suggestion for you guys.

Why not use Furoshiki?

For those of you who are not familiar with it, let me tell you all about it.
Furoshiki, orginating from Japan, is a fun and creative style of gift wrapping using a large piece of cloth.
Instead of the traditional gift wrappers that get thrown away after use, Furoshiki is a brilliant way to reuse packaging.

Found this Furoshiki Instruction online. Isn't it cool?

Have fun doing Furoshiki

Christmas Shopping the Eco-Friendly Way

For the past 2 years, I've been buying my gifts months before and in bulk. Last, last year, I gave out tumblers I personalize for each of my friends. Last year, I gave out Eco Canvas Bags that I also personalized for my friends.

This year, I was a bit busy and didn't have time to buy gifts that I can personalize. I have decided to buy organic and eco-friendly products online.

Here are some of the items I plan to buy for friends

For my Male friends and loved ones:





And for the women...






I might consider doing Furoshiki to wrap the gifts.
