Made a quick trip to the local Salvation Army today and picked up some scarves to wrap gifts in. It's a great alternative to paper gift wrap.
You might also wrap gifts in:
- a reusable shopping bag
- a reusable gift box
- your child's artwork
- the Sunday comics
- a paper shopping bag - decorated however your choose!
While I was there, I also snagged this cute purse for myself. 4 bucks. That's why I heart thrifting!





























I use Fat Quarters to wrap gifts for family. Then they can go back in the stash ;)

Elise - I love the fat quarters idea. I use those to make easy cloth napkins sometimes.
Queen of Fifty Cents - glad to find your thrifty blog!

I found your blog through Google Reader. It was one of my recommended ones.
What a fantastic idea for wrapping gifts! That purse is from a custom studio and really expensive. Here is the website if you wanted to check it out:
