Better gift wrap.

Lagniappe Girl Wrap sells reusable gift bags made completely from natural fibers. These striking bags come in several design lines, including fun patterns for kids, the holidays, and a separate line of bags made of organically grown cotton. New designs are added regularly. The bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from CD-sized to large enough to hold pots and pans. Lagniappe also provides a valuable recycling service: Just send in any type or brand of cloth bag, and the company will wash, repair and re-sell it in its Redux line--and give you 10 percent off your next purchase. Lagniappe clearly provides a worthwhile alternative to wasteful paper wrapping. CONTACT: Lagniappe Gift Wrap, [phone], www.lagniappegiftwrap.com.
