Fabric Storage Boxes: When you see magazines with people who have those lovely organized desks, closets and bathrooms, and wonder, how could my space ever look like that -- these fabric storage boxes are the answer. They are made of canvas with a waterproof lining on the inside and collapse to completely
flat for easy storage when not in use. They come in a bunch of colors and patterns and in three sizes as you can see. Sturdy handles for lifting, excellent stacking, labels with a clear window on one side for ID. Great for extra sweaters, shoes, that's been piling up in a corner cuz there's just no more room in the closet. As good as another dresser but a lot less expensive. Too many uses to name. There are a black and a brown set which are great for men too. Right now, three colors are on sale $12-16 each. Visit the Container Store or CLICK HERE
Estee Lauder Stress Relief Eye Mask I found these through Elizabeth Hurley, who knows about beauty!
A box of 10 is $33+ and should be available at the Estee counter at your department store. Call first and have them set aside a box if they do. I found a link for them at $31 though I have never ordered from here. If you want to check it out CLICK HERE, or google it for more options. TIP: Since individually wrapped as shown in pic, buy one box and stick one in each stocking. Great as a party favor for the ladies too!
Handmade Chakra Soaps
