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.

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….
