Ecorations Review and Giveaway

I know that I am not the only person to cringe as I see trash bag after trash bag get filled with ripped wrapping paper every holiday season. I do like to use the bags, but even those don’t last more then a couple rounds. (typically)

Let me introduce you to Ecorations. Fabric gift wraps and bags for your gift giving needs! Washable, if needed, and continuously reusable. Sizes, shapes and fabrics for any season and every gift giving need.

I gave my mom a purse from Handbag Heaven. As most of you ladies know, it is nearly impossible to find wrapping paper and a box that fits something irregular like a hand bag. But Ecorations had sent me a large Santa bag made from Organic Cotton. It has an attractive silver ring, that allows the bag to be scrunched, and presentable. The purse fit nicely, and had plenty of room. No need for tissue paper! I was going to get a picture of her opening, but it was raining the day I have it to her, and so we opened it in the car. Not very camera friendly space or weather. But she loved the purse and the gift bag!

There were 4 kids in our house growing up, and my family has always spoiled us at Christmas. one year my mom decided it would be easier to wrap everything, then place in large decorated leaf bags. Each with the individual kids name on them. I think these bags would make that really special. Especially the Organic Santa bags. You can have them personalized! Could be like the child’s stocking every year. I can see it now, unwrapped presents spilling out of the top it it. It is huge too! 22 ¾ inches tall and 13 ½ inches in diameter!

Ecorations™ was formed in May 2008 by Kathy de Jong and Debora Owens, but it’s conception stems from Kathy’s marriage and first Christmas with her new mother-in-law in 2000. A native of the Netherlands, Mrs. de Jong presented Kathy with her first gift – in a well-used, yet cherished, natural burlap tote with Santa screen printed on the front. Mrs. de Jong explained in her Dutch accent that these bags had been in the family for years, and she “needed it back”. She said with a chuckle, “you’ll see it again next year!”.

Both Kathy and Debora share a passion for travel, and in their travels noted that despite the many differences in cultures and traditions around the world, one of the most universal customs is the act of gift-giving.

It’s with this sense of global appeal, Dutch practicality and environmental conservatism that Ecorations™ was formed. Kathy enlisted the help of long-time friend and one-time co-worker, Debora Owens to work on this venture.
