RECYCLED & REUSABLE GIFT WRAPPING IDEA

I just wanted to share a little gift bag I made the other day. Sugar Daddy's department had their holiday get-together in January. Participants were to bring a $10 gift for a "Dirty Santa" gift exchange.

Since I am Sugar Daddy's personal shopper...lol... so I chose 10 dollar items with a "bathroom theme": soap, bubble bath, body wash, bathroom cleaner, disinfectant spray, etc.

I packaged each item in a plastic shoppig bag (which can be re-used in a variety of ways).

Then I placed the items in a reusable shopping bag ... which was only 99 cents (less than a lot of other gift wrapping options)... AND IS A GIFT TOO! When you bring your own bags to Bi-Lo, you get a credit... i think maybe 5 cents per bag... I need to verify amount.

Other stores may offer bag credits too... just ask.

I used binder clips to hold bag closed; and then trimmed it with a "bow" made with a bag in which newspapers are delivered.

What do you think of this idea?
