Great ideas! We use the oatmeal boxes for toys (stacking blocks, shape sorters and drums), but I never thought to save them for storage. Thanks for the tip!

Amy,

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, and hope he will be felling better and stronger very soon.

These are wonderful suggestions for easy, practical and thoughtful gifts.

When I was in the hospital for several days, a friend brought take-out from a favorite restaurant--it was so delicious and much-appreciated!

I am a former Girl Scout. We used large metal coffee cans for everything! Now that we are coffee drinkers I can’t throw them away. I use them to store things, a holder for plastic bags so I can put cookie dough in them for freezing, and I donate the rest to a boy scout leader I work with. He knows the value of a good 1lb metal coffee can.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I re-use Jif Peanut Butter jars ALL THE TIME. They are small, plastic and so verstaile. We are headed to the beach this weekend and will use a few for sea shell collecting.

I also use my glass mayo jars to store sugar, salt and oft-used spices.

Also empty kleenex boxes (square ones) work great for plastic bag storage. You only pull one out at a time that way!
