Twine.
It’s an all-year-round must, actually – the stuff comes in handy more often and in weirder ways than you’d think. I end up pulling it out of my drawer at least once a week for everything from cooking to decorating to DIY projects.
But it’s especially handy at this time of year, for moments when we’re trying to figure out the best way to hang our stockings from our railings…
And for moments when my husband comes home from CVS with ugly ribbon.
