Holiday Edition: OaklandGifts #1
It’s rare that I steal an idea from another publication, so I want to give a shout out to Oakland Magazine for featuring these cool Fwraps, made right in downtown Oakland. Sized to hold cd’s, books, and dvd’s, the fabric wrappings are both earth-friendly and save time. There’s no lengthy wrapping process, presents are gorgeous, and there’s no stress about how to fit all that crumpled giftwrap into the recycling bin. Plus, the Fwrap itself becomes a kind of bonus gift to the recipient. Fwraps start at just $8, and come in a variety of bold colors or traditional holiday red and green.

Fwraps are available online at www.Fwraps.com.
Looking for something to put inside the Fwrap? Try the murder mystery Woman of Ill Fame or another novel by Oakland author Erika Mailman, who has written several guides to local history.
