“Green” and gorgeous gifts
      The concept is simple: use what you have to wrap your gifts instead of buying more paper.
“There’s so much more paper out there than people could ever hope to use,” says Jessica Hammer, Marketing & Member Services Manager for the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce. “This is a way to make a dent in it.”
The Green Gift Wrapping Bash is not just about wrapping, she says, it’s about making the wrapped gifts absolutely gorgeous. “My gift wrapping has become remarkably better over the past few years since we started this.”

More information: The 5th Annual Green Gift Wrapping Bash is 6 p.m.-10 p.m. December 16th, 2011 at George’s Ice Cream and Sweets, 5306 North Clark Street, in the Chicago Andersonville neighborhood.
