It\u2019s a month filled with the warm fuzzies that come with gift-giving and celebrating with family and friends at home, virtually, and by mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In celebration of Giving Tuesday, we\u2019re challenging you to create a sustainable gifting station, ready to service all of your perfect prezzies, while keeping the environment in mind. Prepare your homemade wrapping paper and holiday cards by organizing them in a festive little area of your home so that they are ready and waiting when it comes time to get them gifting-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Boxes and bags:<\/strong>&nbsp;Reduce what you buy and reuse what you have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Save cardboard boxes from home deliveries and products that you\u2019d otherwise toss&nbsp;right in the bin! They can make wrapping easier if you have awkwardly-shaped&nbsp;items or materials that don\u2019t hold their shape when wrapped (like scarves for&nbsp;example!)<\/li><li>You can also use paper shopping bags. If they aren\u2019t already decorated in a&nbsp;seasonal way, you can colour, paint, or decorate them to give them that festive flair!&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wrapping paper:&nbsp;<\/strong>Look for alternatives to fancy store-bought wrapping paper, bags, and tissue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Gather newspaper, flyers, and magazines that can be cut and taped to cover your&nbsp;gifted surprises of the season.<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t have many options of these at home, consider recycled or plain paper&nbsp;from the store that you can unleash your inner artist on! When on the hunt for&nbsp;sustainable sources, check for the SFI label.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caring cards:&nbsp;<\/strong>Creativity from the heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Find a base for your card like cereal boxes, or even older greeting cards that can be&nbsp;repurposed<\/li><li>Consider cutting them into unique shapes<\/li><li>Attach unique elements like old ribbons and magazine cutouts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=44229050&amp;msgid=365545&amp;act=U4E1&amp;c=1309481&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.earthrangers.com%2Femail&amp;cf=18315&amp;v=d102c7464cad8ffaba6f682cf4d2c1c9146c6b11c40b1857f1285ff97cd2d8be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"149\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/button-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/button-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/button-4-300x75.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=44229050&amp;msgid=365545&amp;act=U4E1&amp;c=1309481&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.earthrangers.com%2Femail&amp;cf=18315&amp;v=d102c7464cad8ffaba6f682cf4d2c1c9146c6b11c40b1857f1285ff97cd2d8be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"267\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/plush-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/plush-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/plush-5-300x134.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Use code&nbsp;<strong>BF2020<\/strong>&nbsp;at checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each adoption kit purchased supports real conservation projects that make a big difference for the animals we love.
