Use newspapers to wrap gifts

Yeah, it's not as festive as wrapping paper with Santa Claus on it, but wrapping your Christmas gifts in newspaper instead of specialty wrapping paper can save you money and help reduce the amount of paper waste that results from wrapping gifts. Save a tree, or at least part of one, and pass on the wrapping paper this year.
