Getting Resourceful in Wrapping

This holiday season, I have been on it! The tree is up and decorated, over half the gifts have been bought and wrapped, our stockings are hung, and I have stocked up on toilet paper for our visitors.

Random, I know, but I swear I always get stuck at parties when there's no tp and the stockpile is out. It's such a joke! This year, we've had a lot of visitors coming to see Ellie, and running errands to pick stuff up while we have guests is a no-go. So this past weekend I picked up some necessities and right now, while supplies last, at Target with the purchase of Cottonelle Triple Roll 12 pack or larger you get a FREE box of Kleenex. Just click here for the coupon. Score!

Then last night I was wrapping the last of our gifts and needed a small box for some things and didn't have anything to put them in and was looking around the house when I spotted our almost empty paper roll and had a stroke of creativeness.

I cleared off all the remaining tissue, used some double sided tape at each end and at the edge of the wrapping paper side and wrapped it around the tube.Then I added some twine and was done! It was the perfect size for my little gifts. The tubes made the perfect pillow box. 

It was so easy and I'm quite proud of my innovation, not that it's ground breaking or anything, but I'm happy with the outcome.

What creative ways have you wrapped a gift before?

Kleenex to the Rescue!

As a long time allergy sufferer, this fall transition has been no different for me than previous years. Sore throats in the morning, itchy eyes, and worst of all a runny and sneezing nose. I hate that part. I thought you were supposed to grow out of allergies like these as you age, what happened?

Since I'm still nursing, I'm not taking anything for my allergy symptoms besides hot tea and my good ole friend the Kleenex. Nothing is worst than a bright red, dry nose to go along with allergies and luckily with this Target coupon, you can get a free 3-pack pocket pack (or a 2-pack wallet pack) with a purchase of a Kleenex 4-pack (while supplies last). 

So this weekend, on my weekly Target run I stocked up. The first time I moved out on my own my mother had told me there were two brands to never skimp on and one of those was Kleenex. With a history of red Rudolph noses, I've listened to her and Kleenex has helped me every year keep my nose nice and pretty.

I love that the Pocket Packs fit perfectly into the carrying case my Grandmother made for me. Plus I love the fun designed of the Kleenex packages with the hot pink yarn she chose- such a fun combo!

What do you use to manage your allergies? Is Kleenex a part of your regime like it is for me? Don't forget to use this Target coupon to take advantage of a free 3-pack pocket pack (or a 2-pack wallet pack) with a purchase of a Kleenex 4-pack (while supplies last)!
