Price is always an issue, but as they said, think of it as an investment! One of my customers told me, that she has an arrangment with her friend: they have 2 furoshikis, and they keep exchanging those 2 only in between themselves. Isn't this a lovely idea? I thought is it great. For now I keep giving furoshikis to all my family and friends, and I'm very curious when I'll get back one too! :-) Also, furoshikis are a waste of money, if you give it to someone who doesn't appreciate it. But if someone does, than if is truly a part of the gift! Happy wrapping everyone! Linda! Price is always an issue, but as they said, think of it as an investment!

Remnant pieces are typically marked down 50% of regular price (sometimes more!) and while they are less than a yard, I've picked up some pieces that are nearly a full yard for well under $5.

Furoshiki are so versatile - depending on the fabric they can then also be used as bags, scarves, wall hangings. Please have a browse of my blog http://www.myfuroshiki.blogspot.com for some ideas, including (in Feb / March postings) some wrapping styles that are great for kids' gifts. Totally agree, Becky.

You'd maybe need to think of the cloth as part of the gift or even an investment! I don't know if other folks experience this, but in my group of friends, reusable wrapping tends to make the rounds. I get gifts wrapped in bags from previous years. You could also look into fabric from thrift stores and yard sales to save some cash! That’s a good point, Linda!
