Central Florida Green Guide

I’ve been on the search for gift wrap made of recycled paper, so when I found Fish Lips Paper Designs, I was intrigued by their bright, fun colors and sound environmental policies.  And when I found out that Fish Lips is based in Jacksonville, FL, I was even more impressed.

Fish Lips Paper Designs makes some incredible gift wraps and notecards from 100% recycled paper and soy inks.  Sometimes a commitment to environmental causes means some less than fun colors or weird prints, but Fish Lips Paper Designs are fun and funky and brilliantly colored.

I’ve got four of their holiday papers – Seaside Holiday, Winter Wonderland, Poinsettias and Chilly Dogs.  I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and color of the paper.  The paper is thick and strong, just like the high end papers you could spend big money on.  And the colors are rich and vibrant, nothing like I was expecting.  Fish Lips holiday papers are exactly like what you’ll find in the stores – only much better!

Fish Lips makes holiday papers in less vivid colors, too, if you’re going for a subdued color palette, as well as gift wrap and note cards for all occassions.

They’ll even customize gift wrap, note cards and invitations specifically for you, so you can have a one-of-a-kind masterpiece specifically created with your tastes in mind!  Great idea for corporate gifts, weddings, baby showers, family reunions and so much more.  Plus, it’s eco-friendly!!
