We are creating packaging that is sustainable.  This packaging can be used several times and for various items. Using scraps of material, or other material, we will sew bags or pouches.  Some of these will be themed, while others will not be linked to a specific occasion.  Also, pieces of cloth will be decorated and can used instead of wrapping paper.  These methods will reduce a one-time the use of paper bags or wrapping paper.  Very often these are thrown away after receiving the gift.  It will become a custom to get used to giving gifts wrapped in cloth, which can be used multiple times, thus reducing waste considerably.
