bags - Goody Bags are Good Party Fun

Parties generate a lot of take home items and goodie bags are reasonable party expenditures because of this. The variety available allows for just the right goodie bags to match with just the right occasion. Every color imaginable has its place at themed birthday parties or holiday get-togethers. Easter parties are the perfect place for the pink, yellow, green or blue pastel goodie bags. Christmas decorations have changed over the years to include a wider palette of colors so that goodie bags of midnight blue or even earth tones can be used to match existing decorations or tableware. Goodie bags are perfectly sensible for scout meetings and other group activities in which games generate prizes or other accomplishments are rewarded with patches or certificates which will need to be carried home. These can be sadly lost in the confusion of large rambunctious occasions. Issuing everyone a goodie bag with a few items inside will eliminate some of this problem. Writing names on the goodie bags will also help. It saves time if the participants are all given a name tag to fill at the beginning of the meeting or party which they can stick onto their own goodie bag. Also if lots of different colors are used and children are allowed to choose their own it helps them locate their own later when things start getting more active. Adult party guests often like to take home small items too. Sometimes these things don't include prizes as much as a sample of deserts for those at home. Goodie bags are a pretty good idea for cookie exchange parties. Each person brings a dozen cookies to a buffet table. They each collect one cookie from a dozen different plates. Plastic wrap and larger goodie bags are safe ways to transport these back home. . Mrs. Party...

You were anxious to get organized and you purchased those plastic or canvas shoe files, didn't you? At first, they worked great. You had all of your shoes neatly sorted into the little pockets. You put the spring sandals first, followed by pumps, loafers and sneakers. Your shoe collection never looked better. Within a week (or a few hours...in my case) your shoes were back on the floor, weren't they? They were tucked underneath the recliner, sitting by the door or thrown haphazardly underneath the plastic organizer. It's alright. Your intentions were good. Now we just need to do something with those great shoe organizers that are being wasted. Here are a few of the ways I use vinyl shoe bags in every room in my home. Sorting Crafts - I placed paintbrushes, sponges, chenille sticks, pop-sicle sticks, scissors, left-over paints, ribbons, raffia and more into the small pockets. The pockets are also the perfect size for storing craft magazines and pattern packets. Childrens' Accessories - my little girl has a plethora of barrettes, purses, scarves, tights, socks and shoes. Shoe hangers are perfect for ensuring that you keep the matching tights, barrettes and socks organized together Bathrooms - shoe bags are a great way to store all of those extra brushes, shampoos, hair-sprays and travel containers that many of us have piled in baskets & drawers in our bathrooms Toy Room - this is a wonderful way to hold some of your child's smaller items. You can store puzzle pieces, games, matchbox cars, dinosaurs, small dolls & doll clothes, small blocks, and more.. Road Trips - cut a shoe bag to fit the back of your car seat, and let your children make their own choices for back seat entertainment by stuffing toys, coloring books, and travel games into the pockets. Bedrooms - shoe organizers are great for off-season purses, scarves, belts, wallets, and more. Garage - my husband uses a vinyl shoe bag in the garage to store paint brushes, spray paints, cleaning products, rags and painting tools. Utility Closet - use shoe organizers to store sponges, scrub brushes, cleaning supplies (sprays, bottles, polishes, etc) in the pockets. They make a tremendous space saver. Offices - use a shoe bag to hold pens, pencils, staplers, extra envelops, shipping supplies, packing tape, markers and other office tools. (I like to buy my office supplies in bulk at Costco so this is a great way to store the "extras"). Do you have a unique use for a shoe bag? Share it in the comments section!
