I started this at Christmas time to reduce garbage, expensive gift wrapping costs and environmental waste.
I bought inexpensive holiday material (after Christmas they will be cheap) and simply sew it up along the sides and hem the top and it resembles various size "Santa's Sacks", which I used to put my children's gifts in! I would tie it with a wide ribbon, tie on a tag (also all reusable). Looks like Santa brought a lot of goodies!
You may also do this for birthdays with different material! Ho-ho-ho!
We have Christmas every year at my daughter's place. We use "Christmas BAGS" for the majority of our gift wrapping... You can usually buy 2 of them for a dollar at most "dollar stores"... or even cheeper at AFTER Christmas sales!... But, that's cheap, because we re-use the same bags year after year, after year. My daughter simply collects them up & folds them down to a small size & keeps them in a box for next year's gift-wrapping.
Some are ONE solid color (Like gold & silver)... We like these best because they can be used for many holidays (birthdays, weddings etc)... Some of these gift bags we've been using for 5 or 6 years... Gift Bags are not only easy to re-use, they are SOOO easy to wrap up a gift quickly, using no box, no bow & no wrapping paper... What could be better! .. Every year at Thanksgiving, we get out the Christmas bags from the "Bag Box" & divide these between whoever wants to use them... then on Christmas night, back they go into the box for next year...
