Below is a list of things I (or hubby) have personally saved and reused. Shopping bags are reused as carry alls for gifts and travel needs. Decorated bags (such as those you put gifts in) are just reused for gift giving. Socks make soft containers for seldom used jewelry or if you have kids, they can be great puppets.
