Each year, Aussies use around eight metres of gift paper per person to wrap up their Christmas presents.
This wouldn’t be a bad thing save for the fact that the vast majority of this wrapping paper ends up in the recycling bin – but not much of it is recyclable.
Between glitter, microplastics, laminations and sticky tape, most wrapping paper ends up in landfill.

The botanical-scented, all-natural, home, body, dog and lifestyle product brand – which is sold online and at The Iconic – has this year launched a “stunning” alternative to wrapping paper, in the form of a botanically-designed Christmas bag that can be reused for years to come.
Custom-made in two different sizes in order to accommodate a number of different Bondi Wash products, each of the Christmas bags is designed with signature botanical imagery so that the bag can be appreciated as much as what’s inside it.
“Christmas time can be very busy – the Christmas bags are designed to make gift giving really simple – and sustainable,” the founder of Bondi Wash Belinda Everingham tells Best Picks.
“You can choose whatever you like to put in them and there is no sticky tape or gift wrapping involved.”
She adds: “The bags are beautiful and can be reused forever – there won’t be any Christmas gift paper thrown out”.
The smaller bag either costs $8 or is complimentary with orders that are $50 and over.
The larger bag either costs $12 or it’s complimentary with orders that are $50 and are made up of two bottles or more.
Orders made via The Iconic also come in the same beautiful bag if they fulfil the criteria above.
There are many best-selling items from Bondi Wash on The Iconic’s website.
Thousands rave about the $35 Hand Wash, while others who want to pamper their dog might like the Dog Pamper Duo ($65).
There’s also a gorgeous Baby Bedtime Box on sale right now for $70, if you want to treat a new mum in the family.
