Ways to stay unplugged and unwrapped on Christmas

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – Influencer Rachel Leonard Kennedy shows us how to stay unplugged and in the moment during the holidays, while also relieving the stress of wrapping a last second Christmas gift.

Skip the mounts of tape, paper crinkles, and last ditch effort cheap gift bags by wowing your loved ones with a gift that’s eco-friendly and involves little to no wrapping! Time is ticking on getting your Christmas shopping done, so save your money by considering thrifting gifts. Take it up a notch, and thrift “gift wrapping” as part of the gift. Kennedy shows how you can turn a drawstring bag into a reusable yet fashionable drawstring bag with a thrifted scarf. Or consider buying a beautiful basket and put your gift in it and tie it off with a beautiful ribbon. No more messy scraps of paper on Christmas morning!

With lots of friends and family spending time together, you can live in the moment and set your phone down, but still preserve those lifelong memories. Instant cameras are making a big comeback, so consider purchasing one (or gifting one) this Christmas and use it to capture those happy memories. Kennedy shows how you can quickly turn a polaroid selfie into a memorable bookmark or ornament in less than 5 minutes!
