I have a big family.One Christmas I got a gift in a really pretty box.The next Christmas I put a little recycle symbol in the corner and gave my daughter a gift in it.That box has been all around our family for years.Every year we all wait to see who will get it next.It is getting some tape on the corners to keep it together=)
When my sisters and I were younger (late teens/early twenties) my mom bought a beautiful maroon leather wallet. We all loved that wallet, so after a couple of years my mom gave it to me as a gift. I then passed it to my sister and she passed it to my other sister(usually on birthdays.She passed the wallet back to my mom. We did this every couple of years until the wallet was so raggedy that it had to be thrown away, but we all had a chance to have it as our own.Wow, who knew this list would bring back so many great memories.
