I assume it is some germ thing and don't say anything
I could see that.
My children have squandered my supply of wrapping tape. I can't find a single roll or piece of clear tape (besides heavy packing tape) to wrap gifts. I used to have at least three rolls around here.
This means going out again. I don't want to go out again.
Last night I had to make a Walgreens stop on the way home. They very smartly had bows and scotch tape right next to the register at the front door, and the wrapping paper was only 15 steps away from that at the front of the card aisle.
This sounds like a job for your husband.
My kids are driving me nuts, and we haven't even set off on our 10-hour drive yet. Heaven help me.
At some point in my youth, I was semi-traumatized by being unable to figure out which cloth I could dry my hands on, so went to paper towels. My grandmother has strict separation between hand towel and dish towel, and for whatever reason, I couldn't remember which was which.

Flea is wise!

So does my mom, and I sort of do, too. They have distinct textures, though - hand towels are fuzzy or waffle-weave, dish towels are smooth. I once had a roommate that kept trying to use cloth napkins and placemats for dish towels. On the placemat, I had to ask her, "Didn't you notice that it wasn't very absorbent?" She just thought it was a crappy towel.
I do not dry dishes so all kitchen towels become hand towels/hot pot holders/snap atthe kid or cat towels.
Cash - I'd just use the packing tape, or staples.
My mother was big on re-using Ziploc bags. They were fairly easy to wash, a major pain to dry.

Now I totally get it -- and also, the different towels go in different places in her kitchen! It was just one of those things that, as a kid, I couldn't care enough about to get.
For drying plastic bags, I have one of these: [link]
But sometimes I get lazy and toss them.
I try to avoid them when I can.
My MiL will only use a towel ONCE. This includes hand and dishtowels. One of the reasons her family refers to her as "The Queen of England."
