A couple of Christmases ago I got Steve this label maker. I'm not sure it really qualifies as a "gift" - since I use it a million times more often than he does. It wasn't very expensive - under $20 at Staples - but I have found it to be priceless.
I cleaned out my pantry and one kitchen cupboard on Saturday. (Thank you to everyone who inspired me!) After tossing out all the old cartons of food I had lots of extra space. I'd already relocated all my canned goods to the basement, so I took the opportunity to fill some canisters with food items that we are currently using. Out came the trusty label maker - and there you go. Organized AND beautiful.
I'm heading down to Portland in a few hours - I'll come bearing gifts...a carpet remnant from when we recarpeted Alex's room...
...and 5 pounds of "Beanland Mix".
Keira bought two sets of these shelves at Costco.
I'm looking forward to her "after" photos of at least one section of her garage.
