JanaBanana Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Im making my mom up a gift "tote" bag instead of a basket....Im filling it with books I ordered for her online, a bookmark, things of that sort...anyways my question is would it be in bad taste to also put in the tote bag the free samples of things I receive in the mail, like shampoo/cond samples, body sprays ect ect?

firtbird Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 If it is things she needs or would use I think it would be a great idea. Useful things are usually welcomed no matter if they are sample size or full size. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryka Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 If you think she will enjoy it and use it I would put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildtama Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Agreeing that it's not only a good idea, but thoughtful. And the things that involve some thought are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMommy Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I would do it. I mean you're just putting them in there as little bonuses since you already have other stuff to put in there. The more the merrier.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommie2one Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 One of the things I bought my mom last year was a personalized photo tote bag of the grandkids. She plays bingo and she loved it. Puts all her stuff in for Bingo night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
