Christmas all wrapped up

I ordered beautiful Christmas bags already made and seconds DIY during your second item free sale. It was the best early Christmas present I have received this year. 😊
The quality of the fabric is fantastic, beautiful ribbons, thread and easy to follow instructions.💖 Initially I had a trouble placing my order. The response to my email was very quick, helpful and the support team sorted everything out. Fantastic service, products, timely delivery. Christmas presents are in these beautiful bags and under the tree. 🎄
I also purchased the blackboard name tags.Great idea but the chalk pencil doesn't work very well. Just bought some chalk and used that instead.
Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for this beautiful resource which will be used for many Christmases to come.
Merry Christmas and a well deserved rest during the holidays. Carolyn 🌻🎄🎁

Gorgeous gift bags

I was so thrilled to receive my Christmas gift bags a few days after ordering. They are beautiful. High quality fabrics and ribbon, well made and they look amazing under the tree! My main suggestion for other buyers would be to consider the colour. If you have kids, darker colours are better as you can't see through the bag. I swapped my original Christmas choice for the Starry night pattern - no hassles. We've already used the birthday set and it was such a great feeling seeing my son pull off the bag, and instead of a pile of ripped up paper to throw away, I could just gather up the bag and fold it to re-use.

An ethical company that looks beyond the $$$

These bags are fantastic. High quality materials and they look great! I have hated wrapping presents over Xmas and these have been a godsend. People complain about how expensive they are though. However, over the few years I've purchased them throughout different times and have built up an excellent and varied number of bags. Also - for the benefit of the environment these are worth paying more for. But what I love most about purchasing from this group is the way they use this commercial enterprise for the benefit of refugee communities and others.
Kia kaha Waste Celebrations.

Snowflake

The set arrived well presented and complete with good instructions. I purchased this as a present for my niece who is learning to sew. She had a lot of fun sewing the set. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. She was very proud of herself once she completed the last bag. The set looks great and will look wonderful under her Christmas tree. This has inspired the whole family to become waste free for next Christmas.
A great product which a beginner can sew with some confidence.
Kindest regards
Pamela

Lovely sparkly bags

I got a set of these unicorn as well as Christmas ornament bags this year and they saved me a lot of time wrapping and a lot of waste paper at Christmas time. They were good quality fabric and well-made, and looked lovely under the tree especially with extra bows I added
Delivery was prompt, they were responsive to feedback, and I'll be looking to build up a collection over the next few years so I never have to wrap again. I'll probably also give their reuseable crackers a go

Fun and Easy

Received my snowflake re-crackers yesterday - just 2 days after ordering them!! Great service. I’m no sewing expert - I’m a novice - straight lines are my friend & I don’t have an over locker. These are so easy! Have clear instructions, cleverly designed & all the pre-prepared pieces are fab. I like the sturdiness of the tubes. Whipped them together in an afternoon & the kids used all the snaps practicing haha Can’t wait to fill them. Lovely storage box too. Very happy.

A project of love

Have now made 16 of your Reusable Crackers from 2 kits. Ready to go I thought, but now more children and family coming for Xmas so about to start another kit using my own fabric. Also bought crowns but discover that they will not fit into the crackers. Oh well they will look nice on the dining table, and they are so well made they will last for many years. Thank you and I applaud your efforts to be environmentally responsible and to help the ladies in Afghanistan!

sew your own-seconds

Wish I had done this years ago! Gorgeous sew your own bags. Arrived with all you could need for making these wonderful bags, including clear instructions and beautiful material and ribbon. Highly recommended. It did feel like an ‘investment’, but I know these will be used for our Christmases from now on. The seconds were a bonus as they were a reduced price. Thank you for your great service, and for doing your bit (including encouraging us all) to eliminate waste.

A more sustainable Christmas

These crackers tick all the boxes. Beautiful, reusable, supporting women in work, no plastic annoying trinkets that get thrown out the day after, and help me with my plastic free Christmas goals!! Filler packs come in an egg carton (fabulous!!), have good quality thoughtful gifts and surprisingly good jokes in them. I love that there is a video to help with filling the crackers as it looks like it may take a bit of skill. Happy days all round!

— Anne W. — October 2022

Great design

DIY recrakers and fillers. Loved them! The design is classy, easy to manipulate and durable. I’d made some toilet paper crackers with fabric covering and joined in the middle with some Velcro which was covered by a separate decorative cover. However, these are simpler and easier to use. Also super simple to make and great instructions. Fillers were the perfect addition and I had space for some fabric crowns and a chocolate. 😊

Wonderful products

I've made 3 orders with this great initiative. Beautiful products. Love the boxes for reusable crackers as they mean great storage for something we'll use as a family for a very long time. Same with the colorful hats...something for everyone!
I've also bought NZ fabric Santa sacks for my grandchildren in Scotland and they are beautifully made. I will definitely be buying more from this great company in the future ☺️

Beautiful and sustainable

So happy with this amazing product. Having not used a sewing machine for many years I was a bit worried about the skills required, but the instructions were super clear and the set had every detail covered so in the end it was easy even for a non-sewer. The kids helped and loved being part of the project. I absolutely love the little cracker gifts too - a gorgeous and sustainable Christmas tradition.

Awesome idea, superb quality

I had hesitated ordering due to initial outlay till the Black Friday offer was too good to miss. Love the fabrics and the satiny ribbons. Bit fiddly to fill, my own fault trying to stuff in too much for individualised crackers..haven't tried to snap them yet but with care(following the instructions) I'm sure they'll go off with a bang. Looking forward to years of use, they may even outlive me.

Scandi Reusable Christmas Crackers

Wowza! My Scandi Christmas Crackers arrived and I am in complete awe. They are simply gorgeous. The quality is outstanding and the service second to none. I love the backstory to how these gorgeous items ended up in my home. I can’t bring myself to put them away. I just want to use them right now. In fact I love them so much I placed another order for the gold ones! Be still my heart!

Bags of Hope

I love the whole concept of Wastefree Celebrations. I don’t use wrapping paper at all now. I love that this business supports women
who otherwise would find challenges in finding a job that is safe and ethical.
My order arrived so fast and I am thrilled with my bags.
I love being part of supporting this business and having the opportunity to support women in Afghanistan.
Thank you.

Kiwiana Xmas

Have already used my crackers once this season and they were an absolute hit with all our guests. I love that they are bigger in size as it allows me to fill them with a wide variety of gifts - including mini bottles of liqueur ;-) The snaps also work perfectly. Next year I’ll purchase the hats. It is a big investment on purchase but I am certain these will last a very long time.

— Venita B. — New Zealand — December 2022

Simply Beautiful

I’m thrilled with the quality of these beautiful crackers and can’t wait to use them again and again. They were also beautifully presented, carefully packaged and would make a thoughtful gift that brings rewards for the enterprising women who make them, the lucky person who receives it and the planet that benefits from less waste. That’s worth celebrating!

— Judith T. — Australia — January 2024

★★★★★

Love love love!

I love my Xmas bags! Beautifully made with quality fabric and gorgeous bows. Just stuff the present in the bag and you’re done! I used each bag 3 times on Xmas day - once for immediate family (kids) then once for in-laws family, then finally for my siblings families. It felt very virtuous not to be adding to the Mt. Everest pile of wrapping paper!

— Pip J. — New Zealand — December 2023

★★★★★

Simple, Genius!

These were so quick and easy to see. The instructions were easy to understand, everything was pre cut and ready to go. It only to 3 hours start to finish to sew all 10 bags. Such a genius idea and pattern. I would by again and highly recommend to others as well! Bonus sustainability pouts for supplying recycled poly thread to sew it has well!

★★★★★

Beautiful bags a great alternative to wrapping.

These are lovely bags! I'm very happy with them. I bought a variety pack which will suit my needs quite nicely. I'm looking forward to showing others that you can be festive without creating a mountain of rubbish. =) Plus, some of the gifts I usually need to wrap are the most awkward shape! Now my presents are going to look profresh as!

Christmas Crackers Sorted

I love the idea of these crackers that can be used and reused forever. I was delighted when mine arrived. They look so good and I am looking forward to using them at Christmas. My only regret is not buying two sets in case we have more than eight people. My son has suggested putting two small gifts inside each one, so that should work.

— Naida M. — New Zealand — July 2024

★★★★★

Love them!!!

These are the best. I despise throw away crackers but I do like the fun. This year I forgot to buy the poppers or fillers and I realised it didn’t matter at all. My kids loved coming up with their own silly jokes and that and they hat is all people want at the end of the day. You don’t even need a pop! Love this new Xmas tradition.

— Ainsley — New Zealand — December 2022

Christmas fun

Loved filling these crackers with gifts that I know will be used. Couldn't believe how easy they were to fill and how much I got in. Joke, xmas earrings for the girls, xmas ties for the boys, choc treat, smll gift, balloon and a party blower. Big plus made in NZ and giving new New Zealanders work. Win win. Looking forward to xmas.

Beautiful Ribbons & Bows

I just love all my fabric bags, large & small & in between. The fabric & pattern designs are all impressive. I’m looking forward to giving family & friends their Christmas & birthday gifts in one of them. Love the beautiful wide colourful ribbons as well. Tying large beautiful bows will be such fun. Thank you every one.

Beautiful

Arrived in a lovely box, the crackers look beautiful and well-made. Can't wait to fill them and use them on Christmas day and many more Christmases to come, with no more plastic tat or waste. Also, customer service was excellent, my order was lost in transit and a new package was sent without delay. Many thanks!

Recrackers

I love these recrackers, and am very excited to be introducing these into our Christmas celebrations this year.
Also Tori was really awesome to deal with and helped me exchange the ones I originally bought. She was so friendly and helpful.
I also met the two lovely ladies who were doing the sewing.
Thank you

Lovely fabric, perfect size

I purchased this in the Scandi colourway to match our new crackers. The fabric is beautifully soft and the sewing is nicely done. I can see this lasting our family a very long time. Hopefully, over time you'll branch into offering other styles for year-round use because the quality and length are just perfect.

Gold Stripes (Reusable Gift Bag Set)

Very happy with my Gold Stripes Reusable Gift Bag Set! I purchased a second set (Black and White stripe set) both of which I will be able to use throughout the year and not just at Christmastime! I am very happy to use these bags rather than excessive amounts of wrapping paper! Thank you. Eileen

— Eileen H. — New Zealand — February 2025

These are both useful and cute!

We got a 10-pack of the gift bags, and found the range of sizes very useful and now we have a bag to fit all sorts of gifts. The gift tags as well are a great addition, and these look very nice as a pile under the tree! It has already saved time and the waste of wrapping with paper. Love them.

— Sara P. — New Zealand — December 2023

★★★★★

So quick and easy to wrap even the most awkward shaped presents - no more fruitless hunting for sellotape and scissors or badly bungled paper that's just a bit too small. And no rubbish afterwards. These bags are awesome - my family all decided to get some too once they saw how well they work!

— Joanna H. — January 2025

★★★★★

Absolute perfection

I love these bags so much, they look so good and I’m very much looking forward to my first waste free Christmas! I have placed a few orders now and getting extremely excited. I am also inspired that by purchasing we are helping women in impoverished countries become financially independent.

Fantastic

Loved the set both for the fabric and for the total package. My grandchildren and I have been working to make our Xmas waste -free over the last two years. Now Sanya (10) and Tovia (8) are going to help me sew these up for Xmas. Waste -free and family bonding, what more could you wish for .

Brilliant product

Our whole family is into more sustainable living and looking after the earth. Life is fragile and precious and these go towards helping keeping waste down. They are beautifully made and I will definitely be buying more to give as gifts. Thank you for making a beautiful sustainable product.

Makes amazing homemade crackers!

I've bought these filler packs for about 3 years now. My friends/family love the items they get from the cracker filler pack, and it's awesome to put in things they can really use, as well as support the NZ businesses that make the items.
Will keep buying and recommending to others!

Christmas treats for years to come!

Love my crackers! I've been wanting to get the sew your own for some time, but they never come on sale. But purchased the finished ones for only $20 more on sale, so was pretty happy xx They're going to be a great Christmas treat for many years & generations to come xx

Crackers arrived but not received

I was excited to buy these Christmas crackers as I had been looking at them for a long time. Unfortunately I was not home when they were delivered and they were stolen from my front door before I got home. I have given them 5 stars as I’m sure they were amazing.

— Gabrielle A. — New Zealand — April 2023

★★★★★

Sew easy

These are turning out to be so easy to sew. All of the thought taken out for me! I did make an 8cm width of cardboard so I didn't have to measure the ends I'd have to fold over 16 times. I'm sure these crackers will look beautiful when finished. I cannot wait.

— Trusca M. — New Zealand — December 2023

★★★★★

Love these. Fabric is a little thin so you could peer through the bag if you tried and of course my children would sneak in and open the ribbon. BUT, I know I will use these for years to come and save so much wrapping paper. I’m delighted with this investment.

— Jetaime H. — December 2023

★★★★★

Fantastic gift bags

I bought three sets of these and they have accommodated all of my gifts. The sizes are varied enough for most gifts. The only problem I can see is making sure I get them back so I can re-use them for years to come. Wrapping this year has been a breeze!

— Erica R. — Australia — December 2022

Happy snappy

We realised late that we needed more snaps for our Christmas crackers. Placed the order and waited with fingers crossed. Thank you for the super fast handling and delivery. They arrived in time and worked well. The included jokes were pretty good too

Sew-Your-Own Bags

I love my reusable bags. They were quick & easy to sew. I found the YouTube guide a helpful addition to the paper instructions, it was easy to follow after that. I made them all in a day & used them straight away. I will be getting more for next year.

— Cheri Y. — New Zealand — December 2022

Just wish there were more!

Great deal on clearance for the quality of the bag, I just wish the fabrics would stick around for more than a year as I have a limited budget and can only afford a few at a time. Wanted to buy more to match my existing set but limited options now :(

— Elizabeth L. — New Zealand — April 2024

These were so great - such a cool idea and so easy to see. It took me better part of a day as lots of stages but that’s just sewing! Clear instructions. And all the pieces cut and measured was very helpful. The receiver was well impressed too!

— Bronwyn G. — New Zealand — January 2023

★★★★★

Genius Idea!

I had lots of fun making these. Instructions are easy to follow and there is a YouTube link as well (on the website). I added some extra ribbon for some sparkle, and made some name tags so that they could be used as place cards at the table.

— Kaarin S. — New Zealand — December 2022

Absolutely Fabulous !!!!!!!!

Bought these as Santa sacks for my three boys and they are perfect. They arent too big but not too small. The quality of workmanship is impeccable. The fabric and ribbon feels so luscious. Amazing product, quick delivery, top notch service.

Beautiful bags

I love that these are reusable, will cut down on all the after holiday rubbish and are still beautiful. I ordered a few more reusable Christmas bags from Amazon, and these are far superior. Definitely worth it, and I will be ordering more.

Finally one for all!

My bug bear for years has been the waste a Christmas … non recyclable paper in particular. No more silly paper hats that rip when you put them them on! I love the adjustable size… no more “it doesn’t fit” excuses… everyone wears a crown 🤣

Gift bags

I love these, I have bought some more of these to gift to friends for Christmas this year. Reducing waste as these bags are used multiple times. My husband loves them as he does not have to wrap presents, he just pops the gift into a bag.

I think the Flora and Fauna Gift Bags are excellent and they were much appreciated by those who received them as part of their gifts. In fact you almost didn't have to put a gift in them, as they are a gift in themselves.

I love these and have stopped buying wrapping paper for a few years now. We use the fabric bags for Christmas and birthdays. I have now bought some more to gift friends for Christmas this year.

Beautifully made, will last a long time

Very pleased with the bags and sizes, for what is involved in making them and the quality and beauty more than happy with price, which is sooo much chepaer than buying wrapping paper each time.

Sew your own gift bags

Loved making these bags with everything supplied, even the thread. Got myself confused on one section of the pattern, but found the video to watch them being made and it was super simple.

Easy to make and they look great!

I really enjoyed making the Re-Crackers and they look great. I’m not a confident sewer but found the instructions easy to follow and the pre-cut fabric made it fast and fun to complete.

Christmas in July a little early

I couldn't resist the sale on holiday table runners! One of the patterns matches our Christmas Reusable Crackers and the other two will be used during the holiday season as well.
