"Why not help bring change by trying a Fabric Gift Wrap inspired by the Japanese tradition Furoshiki. It's a stylish -yet ethical - gift wrap that lasts and lasts"
- Michaela Weisskirchner-Barfod,
Founder & Designer
Did you know that most wrapping paper is designed for single use only, and although some of us try to reuse it, realistically this can only be done once or twice before it is finally binned?
By using our Fabric Gift Wrapping you help highlight the issue of waste and challenge our throwaway culture. Some prefer to keep their reversible gift wrap in the family, passing them around from year to year. Others like to send them out on a journey from friend to friend, taking their positive message with them.

A Little Zodiac is a perfect gift for baby showers, first birthdays, or just anytime a child is celebrated. The Little Zodiac might start as a newborn gift but will quickly become a faithful best friend and companion who will get whispered secrets to just before nighttime.
The new Zodiac Baby Blanket is a soft and personal blanket that can follow the baby throughout life. First as a swaddle - perfect for making the little baby warm and calm - and later as a light baby blanket.
Pair the Zodiac blanket with a matching Zodiac Friend, and you have a perfect newborn gift.
Meet Baby Pisces. He is an old soul, born with a wise and knowing personality. He has a rich imagination and will make games for everyone to play. It’s quite easy to hurt his feelings, as he is likely to feel angry at the drop of a hat. Your little one will express his emotions openly for the world to see, so expect a little bit of drama.
Meet baby Aries. She loves to be the center of attention. Active and energetic, you will have to keep an extra eye on her, especially when she learns to walk. Childproofing your home is essential. Emotions can change quickly, and a mood can set in in seconds, but on the upside, so can a smile! With other kids, Aries can be a bit bossy. Socializing with slightly older kids can help her learn to have fun, even when she’s not in charge.
Meet baby Taurus. He is most often calm, cheerful, and optimistic. And although he seems to be a very balanced and easy baby, who rarely wears his feelings on his sleeve, he needs to be shown a lot of love and affection. If you try to force him into something he doesn't want to do, he won’t budge. Baby Taurus has a powerful will, and it’s extremely hard to win a challenge against him.

PLA - Biobased Plastic is our new favourite material. PLA is made from renewable fibres extracted from crops like corn, wheat, and sweet potatoes. We love the material because it is versatile, compostable, and the best of all, not petroleum-derived. It performs much like traditional plastic but with the crucial benefit of being 100% compostable in commercial compost facilities.

Discover the magical beings in the Land of Fabelab and collect the puzzle blocks, one by one, with Fabelab's Puzzle Blocks Fabbies Land - wood.
The puzzle consists of four solid wooden blocks and can be used to collect six different illustrations. On each side of the block, you will find parts of an illustration of the well-known Fabelab characters from the Land of Fabelab. Rotate the blocks to find those that belong together! The puzzle is assembled in a wooden frame, which makes it easier for the child to keep track of the blocks.
You can also stack the wooden Blocks and push them down. The balancing of the wooden blocks strengthens the child's finger balance, fine motor skills and hand and eye coordination.
The gifts we choose to buy and the way we wrap them in are small changes that can all add up to make a world of difference. Around the holidays, we throw away tons of trash and one of the biggest offenders of seasonal waste is the single-use gift wrapping.
After all the Christmas gifts are revealed, there is a lot of waste. Cut down on the huge amount of paper and become sustainable with fabrics that can be reused and bring joy each and every year. The Japanese art of fabric wrapping furoshiki is increasingly being embraced by shoppers as a sustainable alternative to paper.
Shop Fabelab's Reusable Gift Wrapping here
It’s not only sustainable to choose reusable gift wrapping, it is eventually much cheaper and there is much money to save. The reusable Gift Wrapping comes with a great economic benefit, as you don’t need to use money on new wrapping paper each year. Another good thing about using fabric instead of gift paper wrapping, is that not all gifts come in a regular shape or square box. With furoshiki, it is easy to wrap the gifts no matter how bizarre or irregularly shaped the gift might be. The fabric’s soft material makes it easy to wrap any gift in.
All you need is Fabelab’s two sided square gift wrapping and some basic folding skills, to wrap your Christmas presents in the furoshiki method. It is easy to use, just place the gift in the centre of the fabric, thick the fabric around the gift and fasten it with a knot.
To make the wrapping more fancy, add one or two of Fabelab’s organic cotton Ornaments or some pine tree branches, for a perfect finish. Make it a little personal, by choosing the Ornaments that you think the receiver would like. Rather than use shiny plastic gift ribbons, go with a more natural look and look for some branches or small pine cones that you can find in your area nearby.
Fabelab’s reusable gift wrapping is the ideal zero-waste alternative to ordinary wrapping paper. They are made of 100% organic cotton and can be used over and over again, passed around friends and family and reused every Christmas. Another zero waste alternative is Fabelab's Christmas sacks.

The Ship Blanket was one of the very first products made by Fabelab. The idea behind the Ship Blanket is the essence of the Fabelab: designing products that can have longer life as it can transform and follow your little ones throughout their childhood. To be a sustainable company and use organic materials.
With the multi-functional purpose and high-quality materials, we ensure a long lifespan of the product. Use the Ship Blanket as a safe cover for your little ones and as they grow older you can transform it easily into a playful ship, that kids can use to play together with their Buddies, Fab Friends and imaginary play.
The secret behind the design of our Ship Blanket is hidden within the patch work pattern. The combination of stitch patterning functions as folding lines and easily transforms the quilted blanket into a origami inspired paperboat.
Matching our popular Folding Blanket, we have created Fabelab’s playful underwater universe including mermaids, fun sea creature rattles and prints in our baby essentials. When creating new collections, we get inspired by watching our kids grow up.
