From Inmates to Playdates

Sometimes I come up with something so profound that it surprises even me.

Humility anyone?

Actually, I’m not sure how profound this is, but it certainly is a clever little trick that works for me.

While perusing through The Big Lots one day I ran across a couple of large, fun boxes. I had no earthly idea what I was going to do with them, I just knew I wanted them. Sadly, that is the way that 86% of the stuff in my house ended up at my house. The only difference with these boxes is that I actually use them for something that is practical.

Here are the boxes.

While they look like cutely decorated, cleverly disguised Christmas gifts, they are in fact hiding some Christmas necessities that I hate to go digging for when I’m ready to wrap a present or running late and in need of a Christmas bag.

For instance, this Santa Claus box is actually storage for 247 Christmas bows.

Okay, so there aren’t actaully 247 in there, but I can tell you there are at least 80 with plenty of room for a ton more.

And this cute Snowman box hides all of my holiday gift bags.

Like I said, clever, practical and profound.

You can thank me later!

Have a great Wednesday, folks! And be sure to head over to We Are That Family for more Thngs that Work For You!
