A Good Laugh !

Goodie2shoes — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 01:27:00 GMT

Boy oh boy ! I have said it before and I say it again, I could not be a salesperson !

I heard Jane Brown this morning encouraging customers to buy at least 2 sets of the Periea Boxes even if you don't need them because you will at some point ! The other Jane tonight is saying the same thing ! Buy more than 1 set even if you don't need them !!

I'm laughing because why would anyone buy 1 set much less 2 or more when you don't need them ?

I guess they're counting on people buying more useless stuff. We'll need more storage boxes to keep it all. 😄

Huh? I have many sets of the storage boxes. If there's a good price I would definitely buy more than I needed at that time. A use will certainly come up. Plus I pack my family members' holiday gifts in them before putting them in the shipping box. Everyone always loves that I do that.

Thats a really good idea to pack gifts in them and ship! I have a few extra that I have purged "stuff" from...

It's just as crazy as putting Alberti and Jane together.

Don't forget we all have huge gift closets we can store everything in so of course buy more than one of everything!!!!! LOL In the past I ordered too many storage boxes so that now I do not have room for the boxes!!!!!! Live and learn!!!!

Let me just say that I already have 2 sets of these boxes and they are very useful. I am currently using all but 1 of the smallest boxes and the TSV price is good. I just don't see buying 3 or 4 sets of these boxes when you really don't need them just because the salesperson wants you to buy more than you need. Again I couldn't be a salesperson especially on TV encouraging customers to buy buy buy ! I admit to buying something I really didn't need on occasion but to each her own. JMO

It's not likely that they're going to quit making them. They seem to be readily available.

I bought several sets a few years ago. I still have some that have never been used. I did put one in our lanai for swim towels. It was outside, but well under roof and well out of direct sunlight and rain. After a few years the fabric on that one started to crumble. I had to throw it out.

Now that I've started that trend a few years ago, no one will let me stop. I don't only use these storage boxes, I also use nice tote bags and canvas drawstring bags for kids.

No biggie. Just a sales pitch which everyone should be used to by now.

I have lots of sets and find them very useful.

At least you know, you couldn't be a salesperson!

I have several sets of these Periea boxes. I have a few bed quilts that I change often and keep them in the Periea boxes. I keep my Summer handbags in them during the Winter and Winter bags during the Summer. I keep extra bed pillows in one. There are many uses for them. The only problem I have with them is you can't stack too many heavy ones on top of each other. I love them and may buy this set.

When a Chico's near me first opened, I ended up with a "collection" of their shopping bags. They were really classy with satiny ribbon ties and an inside liner collar with animal prints. The logo was neat and centered.

I used them for Christmas gifts: attached a recycled Christmas card over the logo, used red or green tissue paper to stuff the top, and added a sprig of silk holly with a jingle bell and small Christmas balls.....all could be reused as decor fillers.

it was enjoyable creating the " trimmings "....time changes everything but my memories.

That was a great idea! I have reused Anthropologie holiday bags in a similar way. I love to use gift wrap that can be reused somehow.

Well I'll just say I started off with one set and then realized I needed another!

So there's that. I believe most people would end up doing the same thing so why not tell them ahead of time? They are addicting, especially if you are a crazy organizational person like myself.
