LOL! I grew up in a family where we saved boxes in the attic and re-used them for gift wrapping. Each Christmas we would have a small party with our next door neighbors and exchange small gifts. One year, my mother wrapped a present in a box that originally had a finger painting set. When the woman opened that present, she was quite excited about getting a finger painting set. We had to nudge her a bit to get her to take the lid off the box, and she was disappointed to discover something entirely different in the box. We all laughed a lot at the time, and would laugh all over again when that same box was re-used. ("Oh boy, finger paints!")
