Hi Everyone,
Happy Saturday! Since it’s the weekend a lot of us are busy, I thought I would write this blog for anyone who has some spare time this weekend (or week) before they decide to head out holiday shopping. This is why.
Even though I believe that my closets are organized I did come across a few things that I forgot about in a couple of small boxes. I was happy to find those items, but it got me wondering. What treasures do you have in your closets, cupboards, and drawers?
The reason I ask is because I knew a woman who actually forgot where she hide some of her Christmas presents. Since was pressed for time, she went out and re-bought what she couldn’t find. Just in case she had too many gifts, she saved the receipts. And then there are the presents that each of us receives yet may not like as much as person thought we would, or should.
Lots of people re-gift things all the time. Of course it helps if the item is still in the proper packaging and something you know someone else would like. I would refrain from re-gifting something to the person who gave you the gift you are re-gifting though. And not re-gift something to someone they know who would get upset. If that is everyone you know, donate it. I’ve done both. Another thing that I’ve done is save boxes, tissue paper and gift bags and reuse them too.
Someone gave me muffin mix that came in a glass container. That container now holds my brown sugar. People re-purpose things all the time. If you can make something work for you, why not? Pretty much anything can be converted into something that you can use. Re-purposing gets your creative juices flowing. Besides why waste your time and money buying something. Exactly!
If you are into saving time and money, take a quick peek into your closets, cupboards and drawers. You never know what you will find. If you have some extra time why not quickly organize a few small areas. In the long run, it will make your life easier.
This blog is a rant, if you read between the lines.
