I like the concept and the designs but it is pricey. I am constantly reusing paper gift bags. the journal is kind of a cute idea - I might purchase a pair of bags and then trade off with a couple friends - we've been regifting the same gift bag (flocked stickers fix rips w/o making it look bad) for b-days and Christmas for a few years now so it might be time for a change...

When I knit, I need to listen to something that plays at my pace which is, well, kind of slow (hey, I just started knitting back in November!!). I don't have a particular favorite right now and haven't gotten into podcasts but I'm usually knitting while kids are napping so I need to have one ear available to hear them (ie - only one ear bud).
