Keep the plastic sleeves that protect your newspapers from inclement weather. They come in handy as upcycled gift bags for small items (e.g., jewelry, cookies, perfume, bath salts, etc.) Cut a bit of the open end off so the bag is not too long, slip in a layer of colorful tissue, and finish with a pretty bow. Voila! A simple and inexpensive solution.

You can also use the newspaper sleeves for: when you carry an umbrella, use the newspaper sleeve to put the umbrella in and eliminate water on the floor. Wal-mart used to give you plastic bags for this purpose. I usually carry one with me as I pick up an umbrella.
You know, my hubby used to deliver newspapers, so I know those plastic sleeves cost the carriers. The ones you don't "upcycle," why not return them to your paper carrier?
