Thirty-One Gifts

My new obsession: Thirty-One gifts. There is a website where you can make purchases, or you can throw a party and get product for free or half price. The merchandise ranges from totes to travel bags to purses to accessories. Every product comes in a few different fabrics, and almost everything can be mongrammed. I adore the organizational systems and the way the catalogue shows unique ways to use each product. I also love how all the fabrics coincide with eachother, and when they dis-continue fabrics for changing seasons, they always come back around. There are 4 new catalogues per year with changing styles and fabrics. The quality is great, and it's so affordable! I am in love.

This is a thermal tote- It's great now for picnics, if I bring us lunch at the zoo, I've even served beers/water bottles in it at parties. Now the inside isn't completely waterproof, (they classify it as water-resistant) so I put the ice cubes in a couple of plastic gallon bags and then arranged it around the bottles.



This here is the hang-up home organizer. I LOVE THIS! My husband and I both own small businesses and our home is overrun with receipts, bills, junk mail, and coupons. (amongst the nails, screws, carpentry pencils, spare change, and other randomness I find hanging around from my lovely other half) I cannot stand these papers piling up on my countertop where I need all the space I can get for storing all my spices, baking needs, and cooking neccessities! This thing is a gift from God. It just makes it so much easier to keep us organized. If I find one of Spencer's random receipts, I now know where to put it, and he knows where to find them. I have a slot for our garbage stickers, stamps, directories, even sunglasses! Now we just have to keep it from getting cluttered.
