Choosing eco-conscious wrapping is a simple and impactful way to minimize waste and bring an added touch of nature to your Rocky gifts.

Whether you visit us in-store, shop online or choose to wrap your gifts at home, we have several Earth-friendly options for wrapping with intention this holiday.

SUSTAINABLE GIFT WRAPPING IN-STORE:

Visit any of our Rocky stores this holiday season and we’ll help you find your perfect gift and wrap it sustainably. Browse in person, take it home, or have it shipped to your address—or send it directly as a gift to someone special.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Let us help you find a gift box or wrap. Ask our retail team to help you select the perfect size. All of our gift boxes are made with FSC-certified paper.
  2. Wrap it sustainably -We offer a number of reusable gift wrap options including:
    1. The Rocky Journal – Our annual Rocky Journal, printed on FSC-certified paper, is designed to double as gift wrap. This holiday season, visit a Rocky store to browse the journal, then flip it over to reveal a unique organic pattern, designed for you to use as gift wrap. You can request your purchases to be wrapped in the journal in store or take a copy home to enjoy and reuse once you’ve finished reading.
    2. Sustainable silk ribbon or recycled cotton string made from pre-consumer textile waste that has been transformed into something beautiful.
    3. Reusable Furoshiki Wrap and Cotton Pouches that are designed to be reused and loved again. Both can be purchased in-store and online.

  4. We add the finishing touches — Sustainable silk ribbon, made from repurposed textile scraps, is added to each gift. These ribbons give a second life to discarded off-cuts that would otherwise go to landfills.
  5. We write your custom note — Our shipping team will handwrite a note at your request. To add a handwritten gift note, check the box in your online cart and enter your message.
  6. We ship your gift with love.

SUSTAINABLE GIFT WRAPPING AT HOME:

Sustainability is about reusing what we have and reinventing it into something beautiful that we can enjoy again. This holiday season, opt for eco-conscious gift wrapping by repurposing fabric scraps and reusable gift bags or get creative by upcycling materials like newspapers and magazines you likely have on hand. You can also elevate your gifts with a touch of nature, by adding festive greenery, twigs, or pinecones for a nature-friendly twist.

Wrap at home with Furoshiki reusable cloth wrap: Furoshiki, a traditional Japanese art of fabric wrapping, holds a rich history dating back thousands of years. Originally used to transport personal belongings, it later evolved into a symbol of beauty using ornate fabrics to wrap gifts, clothing and other precious items. Furoshiki can be reused and passed down through generations, reflecting Japan's reverence for nature and the efficient use of resources. It continues to be a cherished tradition, celebrated for its versatility, practicality and sustainability.

Try Rocky’s take on Furoshiki by purchasing your own reusable fabric wrap or our reusable cotton pouches in-store or online.

GIFTS THAT GIVE BACK TO NATURE

Did you know each gift set or gift box you purchase gives back to nature?

This holiday season, for every gift box or gift set you purchase, we’re giving back to nature by donating $1 to the Nature Conservancy of Canada to support the protection of Canada’s prairie grasslands — one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet.
