Not at all glamorous, but totally useful. I think of my mom randomly throughout the year when I reach into the kitchen drawer for that roll of scotch tape that was in my stocking.
We are a very practical family .
Wow. We often got toothbrushes. But Scotch Tape!?! Let's jazz that up by choosing mini rolls of colored duct tape at least - white and black are useful. There are also fun colors.
