Use Re-Usable Grocery Bags In Place Of Gift Bags

Re-usable grocery bags are inexpensive (99 cents at many local supermarkets), come in various sizes, and now feature a variety of patterns and colors that change seasonally. Instead of using a traditional gift bag that will just be discarded or stored after the gift is opened, package gifts in environmentally friendly re-usable gift bags that can be used throughout the year.

Give Someone the Gift of Youth...Literally

Everyone loves beauty and skin care products. Here's a creative idea that will take them back to their childhood days—and they'll love you for it. Package a favorite moisturizer, anti-aging serum, and/or eye cream in a lunchbox with a throwback logo or design and include a childhood candy, toy or game, and t-shirt or socks that feature pop icons from her childhood days. These days, it's easy to find superheroes, 80's video game characters, and popular cartoon characters on merchandise at many big box stores. Amazon, eBay, and even vintage stores are also great resources for finding such items. A quick internet search for your local comic shop may lead to a treasure trove of nostalgia for you. My local shop is like a wonderland. Aside from the modern comics and cartoons the place is stocked to the brim with items featuring the Thundercats, Ghostbusters, Mario Bros, Jem and the Holograms and even She-Ra!  Tuck a card inside the case or lunchbox that discloses the theme of the gift "forever young."
