   I actually stained and use one Melissa and Doug box as a coffee table tray. I have another purple one that had paper dolls and I covered the edges with coordinating contact paper and use it for jewelry on my dresser.

   Great job! I can’t bring myself to throw away stuff like that either, I actually repurposed all my target beauty boxes into a perfect organizer for my huge desk drawer. One for tape, one for batteries, etc. Makes my life so much easier, no more rummaging around to find what I need. Thanks Marie Kondo for the incredibly simple yet brilliant idea of putting everything in its own box!! 😄

   Great idea! When my daughter outgrew her chunky knob puzzles, I superglued the pieces of 2 Melissa & Doug puzzles inside their slots. I hung them on the wall and she uses them as a coat rack and necklace holder.

   I got wine from Costco in a wooden box with 4 onlinepartments….one for each of 4 bottles. I use it now to store/organize our clean masks.. There is one section for each of us.
