Instead of non-recyclable gift wrap, get creative with what you have around the house.

Try using old posters, glossy magazine pages or even plain brown Kraft paper which the kids can colour on for a personal touch.

For smaller gifts, consider wrapping them in a scarf or cloth napkins, making the wrapping part of the gift.

Fabric also makes creative and beautiful wrapping that can be reused for crafts or other activities by the person receiving the gift.

If you just aren't ready to give up the beautiful seasonal designs of wrapping paper, then try a recycled version of wrap and bags.
