How to Reuse Our Fairyshiki Fabric Gift Wrap

Posted by Jennifer Wright · November 05, 2021

Cue the fanfare! The sock fairies are so proud to introduce a new item to our lineup of fabulous giftables: Fairyshiki Fabric Gift Wrap. If you have received one of these cute wraps as a gift (or a gift for yourself!), you’ve come to the right place to learn about lots of fun ways to reuse it. But first, a little background ...

At The Sock Drawer, one of our priorities is a commitment to sustainability and the environment. This year, as we began preparing for another busy holiday season, we decided to fully commit to that goal and to no longer offer any single-use gift wrap options. We love a beautifully wrapped present as much as anyone — heck, we specialize in it as sock fairies — but we believe gift wrap doesn’t have to be disposable!

The solution: Our brand-new fabric wrap! Based on the art of Furoshiki, or Japanese fabric wrapping, we put our own spin on our new “Fairyshiki” wrap. The cotton fabric squares are custom-printed with our colorful logo, then sewn by real-life sock fairy Katie, who just so happens to be the most talented seamstress in all the sock fairy kingdom!

Did You Know??

Furoshiki is the art of Japanese fabric wrapping, and it has a rich history dating back centuries. In the last couple of decades, in an effort to increase environmentally friendly packaging choices, many folks have begun choosing these square pieces of decorated fabric for lots of common uses, from gift wrap to fashion accessories!

The wraps are just perfect for our bundles of fun novelty socks. You can reuse your fabric wrap by wrapping another gift in it and passing it along to a loved one, or you can hold onto it and use it again and again as a cute accessory.

Here, watch sock fairy Rylee demonstrate how to wrap a variety of popular gifts.
