I have two children and that means we get invited to a lot of birthday parties. I have problem with parties. I don't mind buying a gift for the celebrant. My problem comes with the wrapping of the gift. I have a touch of perfectionism in me so l want the wrapped gift to look great. But l'm missing the talent. Usually I either get over it or I put the gift in a bag. But bags are a problem too.Have you purchased a gift bag lately? Those things are pricey. I have A mental block against spending that kind of money on something that will likely just be thrown away. So I came up with this solution. most of the gifts we purchase fit comfortably into a standard canvas tote bag. So, I purchase an inexpensive tote bag and embroider the recipient's name on it.This way the wrapped gift looks great and the gift bag is now part of the gift and reusable for multiple purposes in everyday life.
For this bag, I got the bag itself from Walmart , I think I paid .97 for it, and the embroidery font is called Payphone and its from Designs by JuJu. l probably paid the same if not less for this bag than I wouldhave for a preprinted paper gift bag and its personalized and much less likely to just get thrown away after the party!
