Bubble Wrap

How many times have we gone to pack our holiday ornaments, only to find that the tissue paper they were once wrapped in is now more suitable for the cat box? Ever get that really great gift to send to someone, only to come to the realization that the box is too big, and the gift is too fragile....so you pack everything with everything from tissue paper to newspaper and back again?

Keep a roll of bubble wrap handy. It's inexpensive, can be bought at almost any department store (or even the post office), comes in a lot of fun colors, and its easy to store.

Here are a few things Bubble Wrap can be used for:

1. Packing holiday ornaments.
2. Packing gifts to send through the mail.
3. Keeping odd-ball relatives busy and out of your hair for hours on end. LOL
4. Plastic lining for inside planters
5. Weed prevention plastic for under the top soil of flower beds and plant beds
6. Top layer of lining for items on the top shelf of a closet to prevent dust build up.

Use your imagination. Bubble wrap can be very helpful around the house :)
