Glad South Africa! ⚠️

I received this PR package from @gladsouthafrica @gladproducts ⚠️
It’s not everyday you receive a PR package with items you actually need for your everyday household usage! I’m OCD when it comes to packaging and storage so this was the perfect addition to my kitchen 📦
They’ve sent me cling wrap, sandwich bags, freezer ziplock storage bags in multiple sizes, ice cube bags, refuse bags, wave top ties & multi fresh food bags.

The freezer bags are my favorite because I use them to store extra cheese or cut up veggies that I need at a later stage. Also the sandwich bags are perfect to pack my hubby’s lunch for work everyday, the seal in the freshness and there’s no mess or lunch box to clean up afterwards!

Thank you @gladsouthafrica @gladproducts
