Christmas is a capitalistic orgy of overconsumption. You know it’s true. If we’re not ready to cut down on the Christmas junk we give each other, maybe we can cut down on the junk used to wrap the gifts. This project is an interesting take on this concept: turning cracker boxes, or cereal boxes into cool boxes to wrap your gifts.

It’ll be that much junk in the landfills down the road. If you do wrap your gifts with the boring paper they sell everywhere, please make sure it’s recycled once the gifts are unwrapped.
