I do not like to camp, but one of my all time favorite purchases is in the camping aisle. "Tent ties" are an active boy's dream! We use these little gems in two ways at our house. 1) Pants keeper-uppers. 2) Shoelace tight and fast-ers.
For pants, just thread the toggles on to the pant drawstrings. No drawstrings? Cut a whole in the waist and thread through a thick shoelace to do the same job. Elastic waists never seemed to fit my skinny boys when they were young - so this did the trick.
For shoes, use the toggles for a quick way to tighten running shoes. Ready - set - go!
