Gift packaging
Gift packaging has never been my strong point. When it comes to wrapping up presents, for some reason all my usual dexterity abandons me and the result is always just a big sloppy mess. It’s quite embarrassing sometimes to hand over a present that looks like it’s been wrapped by a drunken chimpanzee.
Thankfully, I now buy most of my Christmas gifts online, and many Internet retailers offer a gift wrapping service. For a small fee, they’ll do all the hard work for me, so on the big day I can hand over a lovely looking present wrapped to perfection.

How to Knit with Plastic Bags
If you have lots of plastic bags lying around and youre trying to use cloth bags more often, why not use them up by knitting with them? Its relatively easy and results in a strong fabric.
First, cut the handles off the bag, then cut down through the plastic body in a spiral formation to create one long continuous strip of yarn. You then knit or crochet with the bags in the same way as if you were using wool.
You can use lots of different coloured bags to create colourful designs. Why not find a pattern for a shopper bag and knit one of those? That way you wont need to get a plastic bag next time you go to the supermarket.

Why use Zip bags
Zip bags can be useful for a number of reasons, mainly for office documents, especially if you are sending documents between departments.
Zip bags can make sure that documents stay safe and in good condition, and you can tell if a document has been tampered with if the zip seal is broken.
Zip bags can also be really handy for storing documents together in a file, and keeping a certain subject separate from the rest.
Between zip bags and jiffy bags there is not much in it, each has its own use for various office needs, but it is well worth while having some of each in the office!

Make packing tape easier to use
As it gets closer to Christmas, the packaging tape and wrapping paper come out of the cupboards and people get ready for the long sessions of wrapping presents.
Pakcaging tape can get everywhere as you try to get the right lengths to parcel up your various presents.
The best way to use the tape, is to tear off three strips at a time, and stick them to a hard surface, and then wrap you present one step at a time, peeling off the strips of tape and securing the package.
Also the more people you get to help you wrap the presents the easier and more fun it can be!

Freezer grip seal bags
Freezer grip seal bags are fantastic for those who are always on the go and need speedy lunches and dinners.
By using grip seal bags, you can make a larger meal than you actually need one night and seal the remainder of the meal in a bag and use it later in the week.
Also if you are organised you can make several meals on the weekend, and freeze them in separate bags to make sure you have enough meals for the week ahead, and without the added extra of having to cook on a weekday after work.
Sealed bags can also allow you to buy in big quantities, as you can break the bulk purchase down into the size portions you actually need.
