Filled with all kinds of stuff. LOVED it! I changed up the idea a little for a niece. I did a basket with all that stuff in the utensil drawer. Corn cob pokes, measuring spoons and cups, grater, steamer basket, garlic press, etc. She was thrilled because she said she almost immediately needed a peeler. I put it all in a silverware tray.<br /><br />Another gift I loved so much was from my coworkers when I went away to college. It was great for them cuz it was cheap to contribute as poor teens! They filled a small plastic tackle box with desk supplies. And a roll of quarters for laundry! I used every single thing in that box and it was so organized. I still have it. It's covered with sorority and fraternity name tags from rush week. <br /><br />Great posts, Cheryl! They help clear my cobwebs and start the creative process.Debby in KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678580135625880717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-7961011443868869542018-11-30T11:27:48.435-05:002018-11-30T11:27:48.435-05:00Ooooh that is a great frugal tip.

And don't forget that women and girls love their own sets of tools. A used pink bowling ball bag is wonderful to put the tools in also. Just make sure that any sharp tools have sheaths.
