"Four million tons of extra waste in our landfills is generated from paper gift wrapping and packaging just during the holiday season," according to Gratitude Gift Bags founder/owner, Barbara Nelson. The sheer process of manufacturing paper wrapping products can be very harmful to the environment. Since these fabric bags can be used over and over again, they are cost-effective, while saving precious time, money, and resources. These gift bags eliminate the need for tape, scissors, tissue, and ribbon.

Gratitude Gift Bags are available in four sizes and in a variety of colors and vibrant designs. While the holidays might be over, gift giving never ends. With birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations and other special occasions all year round, the company hopes that gratitudegiftbags.com will be an influential part of the transition from disposable one-use wrapping paper to reusable fabric wrapping bags.

Gratitude Gift Bags was conceived in part as a tribute to the selfless acts and ideals of Nelson's late sister-in-law, Marilyn, who created her own unique fabric bags and gave them as presents to her friends. A portion of all proceeds from the sales of Gratitude Gift Bags is donated to select charities focusing on cancer research and environmental concerns, keeping Marilyn's legacy alive.

The mission of Gratitude Gift Bags is to design, manufacture, and bring to market a beautiful, easy-to-use, and environmentally-friendly alternative way to wrap presents. The company's plans for 2010 include marketing to retail stores while expanding the company's online presence. This new product manufactured in Southern California hopes to challenge outdated and environmentally careless methods of wrapping gifts in paper. Gratitude Gift Bags, where the wrapping is the gift...to the Earth.
