My mother. She loves her freebies. No one could ever accuse her of not taking a “complimentary item,” that’s for sure. And this year? Well, it wasn’t any different.
Mom wanted me to point out that this years “gifts” only represent 8 months of “gathering” as the last 4 months of this year were impossible to do so.
{The Girl LOVED her recycled scarf BTW}
Tea, toiletries, cocoa packets from the bank, tuna, beans, tampons from Maggiano’s, fancy tea bags, a pair of socks, some random mayo packets and a few other odds and ends.
I thought the sugar packets stored in recycled cookie containers were extra special. Because why would you go on vacation and bring your granddaughter back delicious cookies? No, no. She’d much rather have the sugar packets from the coffee stand. 😉
A year’s supply of lotion, soap, napkins {we don’t buy them} a few pairs of socks, a roll of tp {actually everyone ended up with a roll} a bottle of laundry detergent, sunscreen, 2 cans of green beans {what the?} tea and lots of jam.
In fact there was so much jam I should probably open a B&B.
I have a feeling Lucy might be getting her own goodie box next year.
Monkey Boy’s stash was pretty nice too. Look at all those snacks!
Say what you want to about Trump… but the toiletries in his hotels are really nice.
Coffee, coffee, coffee. A month’s supply.
No crappy hotel coffee here.
And when did banks start handing out sacks of the stuff? Seriously.
Ahhh. So how was YOUR Christmas? Did you receive anything out of the ordinary? Perhaps a free roll of toilet paper from a rest stop? 😉

P.S. Everything we received in our gift boxes will be used, donated, or recycled in some clever way. No worries. None of it will go to waste. 😉
Thanks Mom!
