It’s a girl thing gotta love a nice bag

I went to American eagle yesterday while killing time for my oldest daughter to finish shopping. I found myself a pair of pants and used the gift card my husband gave me last Christmas to buy them.
They gave me a nice bag to take my clothes home in. NY has banned the plastic bags you used to get at stores but apparently they can give these out. They are a thicker material and can be reused many times.
I asked if they give them out all the time and she said just during the holidays.
When I got home I showed my husband my new pants and he said just one and wondered why they gave me such a big bag. I told him they give them to everyone and I was excited about it.
He said “Who the h*ll gets excited over a bag?”
I told him it’s a girl thing and we love a good box we can reuse too.

@Tina30219 for someone who Iikes to be in nature so much it’s surprising to me how he never recycled before moving in here. He doesn’t care about filling up the landfills like I do.

I will be giving gifts in bags rather than wrapping them. All will get the same gift.

@andriaperry he just throws all the bags away I have to pick them out to reuse them. He usually knows just to leave things on the dryer for me to sort where I want to put things.

Yes, definitely a nice bag, although the logo could be a degree or two smaller...

@shaggin No, it's irresponsible. At least they are kept locked up when not in use. that's a good thing at least.

@Leapea2417 usually even a nice paper bag I can reuse as a gift bag I enjoy but today getting an Aeropostale paper bag that ripped as I was carrying it I was wishing it was a nice bag like American Eagle gave me.

@Beestring yes if it was just a plastic garbage bag type one I wouldn’t be excited. I love being able to reuse things.

@Tampa_girl7 yes it is I’m excited to have it much to my husbands dismay. If I had enough money to get him an Christmas gift I would put it in that bag

@Fleura oh that’s a neat idea to take the rain boots off and put them in there to keep the floor clean! I use them to pack things when I go on vacation as well. Ny doesn’t allow plastic shopping bags to be given our anymore so I need many reusable bags weekly to bring home my groceries.

@shaggin Yes we have quite a lot too, I use them for all sorts. I put my clothes in one when I go away for a weekend. We pack food and utensils in them when we go camping, plus another one for coats and hats. We use several in the house to store boots - just take wellies off and stand them in the bag so we don't get mud on the floor but don't have to clean them every time we wear them either.
