Give Greener: Reusable Cloth Gift Wrap from Rapt

With 7 children between them, moms Monica O’Neil and Cindy Estes were horrified by how much paper waste was created at each birthday party or holiday event—30 million trees-worth per annum, by some estimates! In response they developed, Rapt: reusable cloth gift wrap that utilizes the Japanese art of Furoshiki to create one-of-kind, eco-friendly wrapping.

In addition to eliminating wasteful wrapping, Rapt strives to reduce its carbon footprint in other ways: using recyclable packaging and producing their product locally from heirloom-quality, deadstock, reclaimed, and remnant fabrics, yarns and ribbons (where possible).
