Recycling Christmas....Do you?

I like to recycle my christmas cards and usually use pinking shears to cut out tag shapes for gifts for next year...I have been using the old cards that I recycled like this from last year on this years gifts..I also cut out the leftover paper to keep for shopping lists or notes...I sometimes keep the wrapping paper from gifts as well lol

Do you recycle anything from christmas for next year?

Re: Recycling Christmas....Do you?

I used to make the gift tags, same as you Aysa, but I haven't done any for ages now.
I might also keep an extra special box or carton for reuse.

I also used to like to keep any extra special, loving cards too, sentimentality I suppose, but I don't seem to get those any more.

I give all my cards to a lady at my seniors club who takes then to the hospital for kids in the Children's Ward to use for craft.

Bless you Mups & Sue. If I knew where you lived I would send you both a huge sloppy card.

Re: Recycling Christmas....Do you?

We no longer wrap presents, we use gift bags, and reuse and reuse and reuse

Me and the daughter have been using the one bag back and forth for at least 10 years now
