Once I pulled out all my saved wrapping materials from years gone by I discovered that they desperately need to be organized... the suitcase I'd been storing the gift bags in just wasn't cutting it anymore.
Time for tote bins.
I made piles of bags in specific categories (baby, wedding, generic, birthday, etc) and then filed them in Rubbermaid bins. Then I ombre-coded the tissue paper. So pretty.
Regan think I'm absolutely nuts (of course), but all of this stuff is from gifts that were given. I purchased none of it with the exception of a few sheets of tissue paper here and there.
It is beyond me why anyone throws this stuff out after one use. What a waste. I mean, I scavenged a whole bag of perfectly good bows at Christmas - now I'm all set for next year.
