So the sad truth is that Americans increase their garbage a whopping 25% between November and January…and most of that is wrapping paper and boxes that were used once and tossed in the trash. While we are fully aware our recycle bins will be overflowing with wine and vodka bottles this Holiday season, we’re kind of appalled that so much paper is just tossed away.

Don’t get me wrong. I love gorgeous wrapping paper. But lately I’ve been feeling like maybe it’s not such a great idea. First, if you’re obsessive like me, it can get expensive. Second, said gift-wrap is hardly given a chance to shine before it is torn to shreds in anticipation of what’s inside. Third, if you’ve got a family like me, wrapping gifts means setting aside a serious couple hours to get it all done.

And then there’s that sad vision of it all sitting soggy in a landfill on cold, dreary January morning. So, so sad.

But no more! This year, I’m gonna give a gift that keeps on giving!! I’m gonna spend that two hours caroling, and I’m gonna keep my trash can ready for turkey bones and baby diapers and that’s it! I’m gonna lovingly nestle all my Christmas presents into these yummy, candy-colored RuMe Bags, and then I’m gonna sit back and wait for the adulations!

To say I’m in love with these bags, is kind of an understatement. I LOVE these bags. You’ve no doubt seen the patterns before on RuMe’s other lines, but when combined with the perfect shade of Christmas crimson and cheery snow white, they are just adorable. Use your imagination and tie them up with big red, or baby blue, or silver, or white bows and you will LOVE the results.

Easy to pack, easy to carry, and best of all, they will look great ANY time of year, which means the lucky recipient just received a fab bag on top of whatever else is inside!

Dollar for dollar, minute-saved for minute-saved, and landfill-for-landfill, this is one Holiday must have you’ll be using year after year after year.

About RuMe Bags:

Affordable, stylish RuMe Bags are designed for daily use – and ReUse – in any situation:
- Grocery or mall shopping; as a gym, sports, diaper or beach bag; for après ski, picnics or overnighters; for laundry, farmer’s markets, work or as ReUseable gift bags.
- The comfortable handle is sized to carry over any shoulder – male or female – even while wearing a bulky winter coat!

RuMe Bags are designed and packaged following a strict no-waste philosophy – there’s no superfluous pouch or packaging. Up to three RuMe Bags can be rolled and tied together for simple, compact carrying and storage. RuMe Bags are small enough to fit in a purse or glove compartment – the patent pending enclosure system enables three bags to roll up to about the size of your cup of coffee.

RuMe Bags are made from 180 denier polyester, with water-resistant coating; the innovative box stitch design offers a structured environment for loading goods, while maintaining a flexible space for over-sized, bulky items.

By incorporating RuMe Bags into our everyday lives, we can do our part in reducing the estimated:

    • 17 billion gallons of oil used annually to produce plastic bags
    • 100 billion plastic bags Americans throw away after a single use
    • And save more than a million birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles that die every year from eating or getting entangled in plastic
