Tote It

It's that time of year when we start thinking about Christmas shopping.  To make things organized, I just purchased storage boxes at Target for $5.49 - in the stores only - with red lids.  They are great for organizing purchased gifts (one box for immediately family, one for stocking gifts, one for friends, etc) and keeping them stowed away in the closet.  Then...when you've given out your gifts, take them to your family Christmas outings and bring home your own gifts and goodies in the boxes.  A third idea is to use them to tote your baked goods to parties.  They're cheap, sturdy, seasonal, and useful!
