Totes Made from Recycled Grocery Bags {DIY Christmas Gift Idea}: Day 54 of The 100-Day Countdown to Christmas

Are you shopping for someone this year who’s green?Â And no, of course, I’m not talking about an alien or the color green!Â ;)Â By green, I mean someone who’s very conscious about the environment and takes great care to recycle as much as possible and “go green” in their daily lifestyle.Â Look at these amazing tote bags that were made from recycled grocery bags!Â (If you’re anything like us, you’ve got an over-abundant supply of plastic grocery bags… even though I’ve invested in some reusable shopping bags… ::sigh::)

And for those on your gift list who like to take their lunch to work, what about a nice lunch tote as a gift this year?Â So many to choose from, but here are a few to consider:
