Question - I've been searching for luggage tag holders to put a business card in - I want both sides visible, and something affordable- need about 50 ... I don't want the laminating style and I'm not sure if the id holders will keep the cards in...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!!

I got mine at www.clearbags.com they were pretty cheap. I only got the holders there and got the handle part from ebay.

I think I saw in this thread at some point a post about Tote Bags from the DollarTree for $1.00. Does anyone know how often they sell these online? I checked it out recently and it appears they are no longer for sale. 

 

Any tips/ideas?

 

Thanks!!

Do you know what season they typically sell the tote bags? Thanks!!

Reporting back - they are pretty low quality, as suspected. But even worse than I thought!!! The sides squish in to the inner wall, and they just feel super cheap (ok, so they feel like exactly what they are!!!) The bad news is I'm out 72 items at Dollar Tree (they don't do refunds or credit - only exchanges).

We went with the 15oz red/green/blue ones - they don't exactly match our colors (tangerine/aqua), but for the price, I'm going to deal with it!! I ordered 2 cases (72 total), and will only need 50. If someone wants to call dibs on the other 22 for $1 each plus shipping, send me a PM. I'll pick them up on Saturday, July 14th.

The good news is I found 38 of the clear double wall tumblers!!! We called several stores and didn't find the rest - but the manager (who did all the calling and was SUPER helpful) said they will order 2 more cases and pull 12 more of the clear ones for me (see the pic below as an example). These are what I really wanted to begin with, so I'm THRILLED! We'll get the rest of the cups that we need, and then we'll get some more stuff for the OOT bags too for the rest of the 72 items. So you ladies may want to hit the local dollar tree and ask about these cups!

Thanks for the report back!

 

Wish I would have known about the cups...I bought mine at Walmart for $3 a pice...mine our double lined though, so hopefully the extra $2 a piece is worth it!

I just called Dollar tree customer service and was told it would be out next spring.
