    SUSTAINABLE WRAPPING OPTIONS

    FUROSHIKI REUSABLE CLOTH WRAP

    Furoshiki, a traditional Japanese art of fabric wrapping, holds a rich history dating back thousands of years. Originally used to transport personal belongings, it later evolved into a symbol of beauty using ornate fabrics to wrap gifts, clothing and other precious items. Furoshiki can be reused and passed down through generations, reflecting Japan's reverence for nature and the efficient use of resources. It continues to be a cherished tradition, celebrated for its versatility, practicality and sustainability.

    Try Rocky’s take on Furoshiki by purchasing your ownreusable fabric wrap or our reusable cotton pouches in-store or online.

    WRAP SUSTAINABLY AT HOME

    Often sustainability is about reusing what we have and reinventing it into something beautiful that we can enjoy again.

    This holiday season, opt for eco-conscious gift wrapping by repurposing fabric scraps and reusable gift bags or get creative by upcycling materials like newspapers and magazines you likely have on hand. You can also elevate your gifts with a touch of nature, by adding festive greenery, twigs, or pinecones for a nature-friendly twist.

    GIFTS THAT PRESERVE NATURE

    Did you know each gift set or gift box you purchase gives back to nature?

    This holiday season, for every gift box or gift set you purchase, we’re giving back to nature by donating $1 to the Nature Conservancy of Canada to support the preservation and protection of Canada’s wild spaces, including our prairie grasslands — one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet.
