Gift Bags

I do reuse gift bags. I have a large bag I keep in the closet, and I stick them all in there for whenever an occassion arises. I also reuse bows and even ribbons, too. I hardly ever have to buy wrapping paper, except at Christmas time, and I even reuse that during the year. I wrap the gifts with the Christmas paper inside out, and then task one of the kids to make a design and colour in the white paper.

Yes, we usually store them and re-use them when we are giving a present to someone else. I'm sure alot of people do this as it looks a lot better than giving a gift in a plastic bag.

Yeah i re-use the gift bags by using them again and again for different purposes. Like carrying vegetables, store items in it, to gift pack items to gift someone.

We try to reuse gift bags and boxed when ever possible. We have not yet gone as far as reuing gift wrap beause I cant figure out how to make it look neat. The paper is to hard to lay flat again after it has been folded. We try to use it on small packages. Though I do worry about people recognizing their bags going full circle. I wish I could remember who gave them to me so I would not give them back.

Yes, I always reuse gift bags. As long as they are in good condition and still look nice, I don't see any reason to waste them by throwing them away! It's a nice little money saver, and it just makes me feel good to recycle something. It's also very convenient to have a little stash of old gift bags just in case you run out of wrapping paper or if you suddenly need a last minute gift for something!

Yes,, I do reuse gift bags. I have had several of them that I liked so well that I have used them more than once. I have reused Christmas cards before too as I let the kids use them to make gift cards for Christmas the following year. I have also reused ribbon as it just gets thrown away if you don't. I see nothing wrong with this and I see a lot of ways that it is good to do it.

I definitely reuse gift bags, or at least repurpose them. Most end up being a gift bag again, but some have been used as tote bags for my son's stuff, etc. I saw someone else post about reusing boxes and I absolutely do that as well. It just doesn't make sense on any level to keep buying new. I also never write on the little card attachment on the gift bags so that they can be reused.

I don't normally have any affinity for gift bags. I much prefer to wrap a gift like I have always done. I do have a few that I have received and I am apt to use them to just get rid of them. Fortunately they are nice and can easily be used for a gift carrying bag.

Yes Yes, Yes!! They get used for a short time and still look brand new after a few uses!! I am constantly re-using them!! It seems crazy to throw them away after one or even more uses =)

I re-use gift bags all the time. I also regift if I think someone else would like it more then I would lol. Do you regift gifts that you recieved but didn't want them?

i like reusing the gift bags to whether it be for things in my own house or to put other peoples presents into. i try not to write onto the little label that comes with them though cause i hate having to ripp them off
