Fabric Gift Wraps

Receiving a gift is a special event. We have memories of childhood holidays, happy occasions made delightful by a hill of colorfully wrapped presents. As adults we continue to wrap gifts, even when they are not for children, because wrapping makes any gift more special. At ellaWrap we have developed a better way to wrap – stylish, reusable fabric gift wraps.

Every parent has seen how a stack of lovingly wrapped and arranged gifts ends up as a pile of rubbish within a few moments of fervent tearing. While the useful life of this wrapping paper has been short, the resources used to manufacture it, and the waste it results in, are hardly easy-come easy-go. Most wrapping paper is made from virgin wood, rather than recycled sources. Also, it’s usually impossible to recycle wrapping paper because of its glossy and metallic finishes, some of which are toxic if burned. Even if it is recycled, the single use nature of wrapping paper translates into waste. Moving forward -reusable fabric gift wrapping is a superior option.

Furoshiki, a beautiful fabric gift wrap from Japan, is another inspiration for ellaWrap. Like furoshiki, ellaWrap comes in a variety of gorgeous patterns. Our designers choose the best fabrics for every ellaWrap, focusing on style, sophistication and ease of use. While furoshiki requires some skill, ellaWraps are easy to use and save time. Just slip in the gift, fill in the Gift Journal, and tie the ribbon! Even those who balk at wrapping will find ellaWraps to be simple and convenient.

At ellaWrap we hope that fabric gift wrap will replace wrapping paper in homes around the world. Instead of being thrown away our reusable fabric gift wrap is passed on, carrying fond memories which will accumulate and endure. The wraps themselves will be as easily recognizable as Grandma’s Christmas cookies, a favorite birthday cake or an eccentric uncle’s fishing hat.
