Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for December 26, 2015

Aren’t they tied in with the Ribbon Repository down the block…?

Good one, Dave! I’m making a big deposit at Box Bank today.

Re-using gift wrap and bows is as bad as delivering a xmas card without using postage.

Yep visited it last night with dad. Four huge boxes into the attic. They will not have to buy wrapping paper or gift boxes or ribbon for the rest of their lives. For at least the last 5 years the same gift boxes have been piled under the tree, just different gift in the boxes and different name tags attached. The tape is getting stacked a little thick though.

Don’t forget about their greeting card branch. Smart savers keep the cover of their used cards to re-use next year, since the back side is traditionally left blank.

Our’s wore out after multiple uses. Don’t use ’em anymore…

We vowed to reduce and reuse as much as possible. Beautiful tree and the gifts were wrapped beautifully, almost everything from yard sales and thrift stores. All paper was recycled, and will be recycled again.

I’ve seen bows so old, faded, and misshapen it made more sense to just throw it out and buy another bag!
