And here’s how they looked once they’re wrapped:
The wrapped presents are in the same order in the grid as the unwrapped gifts. Each present, except for one, was wrapped in about a minute. The set of boxing equipment — two sets of gloves and two packages of head gear — took a little bit longer, about two minutes. (Yes, I timed it!) Imagine how long it would take if you wrapped each of those pieces individually in wrapping paper, especially since they’re in mesh containers with flexible sides.
If you ever have a gift and you’re not sure what size bag it would fit into, just e-mail us the dimensions at info@VZWraps.com, and we’ll get right back to you with the proper size!

Two styles of organic cotton gift bags are now available on the site in three sizes: wine bottle bags, standard 10″ x 15″ bags, and medium 17″ x 19″ bags. More organic cottons will be added throughout the spring.
Organic Cotton Gingko
I wish you could feel this red organic cotton with the green and white gingko leaves. The fabric is so smooth and silky, but has enough weight that it isn’t droopy. The green satin ribbon is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. Did you know that both “gingko” and “ginkgo” are acceptable spellings? You learn something new everyday!
Red Organic Cotton Gift Bag -- Medium $10
We also have a simple red organic cotton with a white eco-grosgrain ribbon. These bags are so versatile and can be used for any occasion or holiday. They’re certainly appropriate for both Christmas and Valentine’s Day. The eco-grosgrain ribbons are made from recycled plastic bottles but feel like traditional fabric.
Samples are being worked up of a geometric navy & white print organic cotton. I’m just trying to locate the perfect ribbon — made from recycled materials, of course. Check out our Facebook page to track my progress!
I am always looking for more earth-friendly options and will keep you posted on my progress. Please feel free to check in if you have any ideas or suggestions for colors or themes you’d like to see in our fabrics.

Happy New Year — a little late, but I took some time off after the craziness of Christmas. Thank you to everyone who used VZWraps in 2011. I hope they made your gifts look fabulous, your wrapping go more quickly, and kept some trash out of your local landfill. Christmas started early around here and was very busy. While there aren’t a lot of Christmas bags left, most of them are now on sale. If you’d like to stock up for next year, now’s the time! Hanukkah bags and many all occasion bags are also on sale, too. I need to make room for some new fabrics, including some organic cottons!
New Organic Cotton Fabric
I’ve been searching high and low for organic cottons that are stylish and affordable, and I’m starting to find them. Gift bags made from this organic cotton ginkgo-print fabric,complete with a green eco-satin ribbon which is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester, will be available soon — hopefully in time for Valentine’s Day. I’ll be adding a solid, red organic cotton with a white eco-grosgrain ribbon (recycled bottles) as soon as the photography is finished. Keep an eye out for some organic baby shower gift bags and all occasion organic gift bags as well. They’ll be posted on Facebook as soon as I get them, so check out our page, if you haven’t already.

Some important dates to keep in mind to make sure your VZWraps reach you in time!
Sunday, December 18th — Last day for orders to ship via First Class Mail and reach you by Christmas Eve.
Monday, December 19th — Last day for orders to ship via Priority Mail for delivery by Christmas Eve.
Tuesday, December 20th — Now you’re upgrading to Express Mail if you need your VZWraps by Christmas Eve.
So don’t delay; order right away!
We try our best to ship orders the same day, but with the holiday rush it’s sometimes just isn’t physically possible.

It is like a tornado of fabric and gift bags around here. We’re running low on some fabrics — and we’re totally out of the original Ornaments, but replacements are arriving all the time. Here are two Christmas fabrics and two Hanukkah fabrics that just arrived this week.
New Christmas & Hanukkah fabrics
The green and gold fabric on the left is beautiful and elegant and will be available in all 5 sizes of gift bag. It makes an especially stunning wine bottle bag. The white oranments fabric (on top right) is so cheerful and soft, I should really make pajamas out of it! Instead, it will be turned into gift card holders, standard cloth gift bags & large gift bags.
Hanukkah begins on Wednesday, December 21st this year, and with 8 days of presents, there’s a lot of wrapping to do. These two new fabrics, Stars of David & Silver Dreidels, are a nice complement to the Gold Dreidel fabric already on the site.
Bags are being sewn and photographed this week and should be available for ordering by November 11th (the lucky day — 11/11/11!).
Out-of-stock or running low
Now as new fabrics come, some old fabrics must go!
Green Ornaments (shown on the right) is totally out-of-stock. The other three, Fuchsia Flowers, Funky Jungle and Argyle are running very low and cannot be reordered. So if you had your eye on them, order before they’re gone!
Keep in mind that US shoppers need to order holiday bags by December 15th to receive them via first class mail before Christmas Eve. If you want to upgrade to Priority, you can have a few extra days — until December 19th. International shoppers should order by December 7th to be on the safe side.
Once the holiday rush is over, we’ll be restocking our all occasion, birthday, and wedding fabrics ASAP — and introducing some organic cottons!! Stay tuned….
