My friends were surprised as I was when they started noticing similar uses recently popping up all over the place since I'm not the trendsetting type! I love your idea of putting the gift in a reusable tote bag. I look for Sterlite & Rubbermaid containers when they go on sale and use those. Just add some ribbon or jute (my green jute is my favorite) and you have 2 gifts in one. When I go to a baby shower, I use a BIG Rubbermaid tote (they come in colors and are on sale a lot) as the box to hold all the gifts. It's great storage for the baby now or later and costs about the same as a big gift bag that would otherwise be thrown away after 1 or 2 uses.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723888060510642011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252209459949841759.post-18943605571429546372010-01-13T12:53:16.380-05:002010-01-13T12:53:16.380-05:00Try making these amazing magazine bows!
