I’VE DONE it to Starbucks and Rustan’s paper bags. Now, I’m adding Takashimaya to the list.
I’m talking about shopping bags I’ve recycled, reused, and most importantly, re-purposed. To wrap one gift I gave to a superhero last week, I pulled one of a few Takashimayas I amassed from a recent trip. Half of the front panel was more than enough.
In place of an actual greeting card or fancy stationery, I tore the part of the paper bag – the one on the sides – that bears the name “Takashimaya Singapore”. On it I wrote a short note that went with the gift.
This is actually the foremost reason why I keep shopping bags. They make perfect gift wrapping. They have great designs. They have color. They have attitude.
