Daily DIY: Re-Use That Ugly Christmas Tie

Next to Father's Day, I'd say Christmas is the second-most dreaded holiday for eligible necktie-wearers across the country. What to do with all of those festive snowmen, reindeer and Santa ties that have been collecting dust over the years? Lifehackery has a few fun ideas right here, but my favorite of all? Bind each year's Christmas cards with a tie from that year.

The idea is simple enough, and the memories will last longer than your grandmother's fruitcake. Why not put those ugly ties to use and give your husband a break from donning them year after year? You could even start a new tradition --- thrift for the ugliest tie you can find to bind those cards! He'll be happy he's off the hook, and you'll have a fun, quirky and stylish new way to organize all those overflowing card boxes.

Happy tie hunting!
