1. Eco-Friendly Can Be Exciting
Keep gift-wrap easy and eco-friendly, by wrapping your Keepster in newspaper. You could consider finding a newspaper printed on a special day - like the recipient's birthday, your shared anniversary, and beyond - or simply pulling a few favorite headlines from today’s copy.
Tie the complete package together by using a simple kitchen string, available at most local craft or convenience stores.

2. Personalize with Prints
A Keepster book is one of the most personalized gifts you can give - so tie that meaningful element all the way to wrapping.
