Use environmentally sustainable candles.  Beeswax, soy, and palm oil provide more natural alternatives to traditional paraffin candles.

Gift Wrapping

Traditional wrapping paper typically can't be recycled.  Get creative and use old newspaper or fabric scraps.  Or opt for brown craft paper, which can be recycled or reused.
