I found this great little bit of info from a magazine. (sorry I don’t know which one, I just cut out the little box)
I know the holidays are over but these will last all year long.
Instead of spending money on gift wrap, package gifts with stuff you already have. Just add ribbon and a thoughtful note.
You’ve got…
An empty chocolate – chip cookie box – Insert the gift and write, “To the smartest cookie I know.”
A shoebox – Add a card that says,”There’s no one who could fill your shoes.”
Old CDs – Tape a small gift between the two CDs and write, “You rock my world.”
A cracked container – For a funny friend, write, “You crack me up.”
Can you think of anymore?
These are really cute ideas. I've used old checkbook boxes as gift boxes for earrings and other small items. Maybe "check this out?"
Love these ideas!!! I often use a sand bucket that I get for pennies at the Dollar General in September….or a backpack that I get for free at Meijer!
