I was in Walgreens and asked if they had shirt boxes. The cashier, very helpfully mentioned that the dollar store would. <BR/><BR/>I picked up a package of 6 shirt boxes for a $1. The supply of gift wrap and cards wasn't bad either. I'm definitely going there a lot more often!Holly (2 Kids and Tired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13075380878850295214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641176596814317636.post-47281341934466240772008-09-30T12:52:00.000-06:002008-09-30T12:52:00.000-06:00I love the dollar store!!!

But my favorite thing to do is use gift bags (That have been gifted to me previously.) And then instead of tissue paper, I use my paper shredder and shred magazines to fill the space and cover the gift. I always have a stack handy from all the free mags I get, so it's not painful to shred a few pages for a gift. It's colorful and different!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11927706032811684125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641176596814317636.post-8192014827337086772008-09-26T11:17:00.000-06:002008-09-26T11:17:00.000-06:00brown paper packages tied up in string these are a...brown paper packages tied up in string these are a few of my favorite things....(you can keep singing if you'd like)<BR/><BR/>every morning the newspapers are dropped off in bundles, divided in butcher paper- I have a huge stack of this paper now and I am excited to wrap presents in it- I love the just brown paper and white string look- plus Kenzie uses the paper for art, pain and coloring-Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457923626670873884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641176596814317636.post-9989028214771690452008-09-26T10:10:00.000-06:002008-09-26T10:10:00.000-06:00Thanks for sharing Kellie!

Most of the stuff you will already have on hand and it adds a personal touch for super cheap.Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00814491452113019942noreply@blogger.com
