Frugal Village: Baby shower gifts and bathroom totes

Sara Noel at Frugal Village led off her newspaper column today with an amusing idea for a new daddy gift at a baby shower. But there’s quite a variety of tips and my favorite is this one:

TOTE IT: Each member of my family has a personal plastic carry tote for bath items, such as soap, shampoo, brush, hairspray, etc. The totes are stored in the linen closet, and, because everyone has his or her own, I don’t hear, “She used my razor on her legs” or “He didn’t clean the hair from the brush.” They each learn to make a list when they run out of an item. I also fill them up for holidays. I love that the bathroom counters aren’t cluttered up, too. — Pauline, e-mail
