Wrapping gifts can seem like a chore to even the most festive of elves. For me, it's more like a passion project. This is doubly true ever since I discovered eco-conscious and uber-cute designs from Wrappily.

Wrappily produces recyclable and reversible wrapping paper, which means I can continue enjoying the packaging process without stressing over unnecessary waste. Unlike most options, Wrappily's products skip the usual layers of sealant and sparkles that make other "paper" brands impossible to recycle. The environmental advantage doesn't mean Wrappily's designs are any less festive, though. For the second year in a row, my presents are wrapped in adorable dinosaurs sporting Santa hats and chic llamas draped in holiday scarves.
