The gift(wrap) that keeps on giving
I'm not sure which is cooler, the actual lyziwraps reusable gift bags that I just discovered, or the story behind them. They were originally designed by an 8th Grader, for an innovation competition, who was trying to find a way to decrease the amount of waste Americans produce between Thanksgiving and New Year's.

The result? Fantastic.

[don't miss a special offer after the jump]
These brightly colored nylon reusable gift bags open at both ends so you can place your gift inside, cinch the ribbons at both ends and create beautiful wrapping that can be used again and again. If you're looking for something a little more elegant for the holiday season you can also get the wraps in stylish Duponi silk (shown).

They come in four different sizes from small ones that are perfect for jewelry to large ones that will hold a board game or bigger items.Individual bags start at $6, but you can save 25% by ordering a combo pack which has one of each size, a small pocket to slip a note or card and a nifty storage case. Did I mention that the small one is perfect for jewelry boxes? Hint, hint.--Betsy
