All the Pretty Packages

Sometimes we need to wrap a gift on short notice. I like to keep and re-use gift bags, bows and sometimes even tissue paper whenever possible. It's good for the environment and, okay, I also love to save a buck! Additionally, I do keep some new items on hand, like, cards and ribbon.

I purchased this cart from Zellers for around $20.00 and it has had multi purposes over the years ... yes, it's been a few years since Zellers was around. These days I use one drawer each for cards, ribbon, bows, tissue paper and gift bags. I have a seperate tall tote for wrapping paper rolls but that can also just be folded and put in the drawer with the gift bags. No more last-minute trips to the dollar store and, even better, no more mess!
