The kraft paper gift boxes by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-christmas-tree-alternative) user PrettyTape are a smart and sustainable way to package small gifts. Wrapping paper, colorful tissue paper and gift bags are fun, but when they're not the right color, pattern or suited to a specific holiday, reusing them over and over is not easy. Since these '[Kraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthfoam) Pillow Boxes' are blank to begin with, slipping a small gift inside and dressing up the package is easy with a ribbon or colorful paper tag.

These small gift boxes are the perfect thing to hold party favors, or even tiny stocking stuffers and little presents, no matter the time of year. For conveniently putting together your own pretty packaging, the [kraft paper boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-packaging-solution) from PrettyTape come in sets of 12.
