[quote=mom-from-missouri;118486]I reuse gift bags, or make my own.
To make my own for larger items,
Also, I make my own out of paper grocery bags. I take the bag apart, turn the bags inside out, fold down the top and before folding it down the final time, I add handles (baling twin-used of course), glue them in. Re glue the bag. Let it dry, then use fabric cut outs to attach my "pretty" to the front. To make my "pretty" I trace an item from a coloring book onto fabric and glue it on. It may be an angle (using white scraps of fabric) or santa, or even cut outs from old greeting cards or magazines.
This really saves money at Christmas time.

Excellent idea, however some of our grocery stores are getting away from paper bags, darn it.
