Today I am breaking down and getting rid of many gift bags I've accumulated. I haven't ever bought a gift bag, because I receive many from students, which I truly appreciate. I have saved them to reuse and now the bin is overflowing.
My favorite gift bag story, for the record, came from a little boy whose family didn't have much money. He came in on the last day of school carrying a gift bag with race cars on it. He was so excited to give me a gift and I raved about it and thanked him. Later, when I looked more closely at the gift bag, one of the largest photos of a race car had "Viagra" advertised boldly across the side. :) I'm sure the mom never looked carefully at the bag before buying it. Needless to say, I decided not to regift that one.
I'm wondering if she was "regifting" it to you, hoping you'd never notice ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for yesterday's post. I usually give to Goodwill because, to be honest, they are right down the street. Our Vet's group will even come to your house to get larger donated items. But in the future I'll make sure and read the fine print :)
