Now that green is the new black, we're recycling everything, cutting down on paper use, and using reusable bags with a vengeance. But until now, we had trouble finding an eco-friendly solution for wrapping presents (putting a gift in a grocery store eco bag simply isn't that festive).
Enter RuMe mini bags ($9.99), colourful nylon bags that are the perfect size to hold a birthday present and can then be used as a lunch bag, trick-or-treat bag, or "indoor shoes with non-marking soles, please" bag long after the party is over.
Not only are RuMe bags as cute as can be (how much do we love the holiday designs?) but they are karma-friendly. The bags are produced in a regulated fair trade factory and a percentage of profits are donated to charity.
Thanks to RuMe, finding a people and planet-friendly gift wrap is in the bag.
