So cool! I am stacking 2 from Chewing the Cud, which will give me 6 for $36, after shipping.I figure with paying for wrapping paper every year for Bumbee, it will pay for itself. I am saving it to use for holiday and b-day gifts for Bumbee. It is organic cotton with, soy ink and will save wrapping paper from the landfill. My inner hippie is very excited! :D Currently $14 for a $35 voucher.
I have really fell in love with Jasmere, like Groupon but with eco-friendly and unique stuff!

Thanks for the heads-up. We have been using playsilks around here for wrapping, but these will be pretty to add to the ones under the tree. I've been thinking about getting some, but couldn't justify them at full price. My 6yo daughter wrapped up a homemade present for me in a playsilk for Christmas. My inner hippie was very proud. :)

I've always been fascinated by this; my aunt always wrapped her bento in a furoshiki to take to work and now it's catching on as gift wrap!!

If you Google "furoshiki" you'll come up with tons of wrapping techniques that's almost akin as fancy napkin/towel folding:

I am excited! I love some of the patterns. An I get to teach Bumbee how to reduce waste. I figure in a few years it will pay for itself, and the karma points are immediate!;)
