I'm just chocked full of tips lately. I love this one. I'm kind of known for giving unique and useful gifts. And this is why I'm having such a hard time keeping the Christmas shopping under control. I keep trying to outdo myself.
We reuse all of our Christmas gift bags because we exchange gifts when we are together. But with Birthday gifts, we just send them off and I don't get the bags back.
I hate spending the money(even though it is just a $1) for the bags. Yes, everyone in the family recycles but I like to be a rebel and mix it up every once in a while. So I go to the dollar store and buy cheap little purses($1 each) for the girls and use them as a gift bag. How much fun is that! I haven't spent anymore on the bag than I would have and they get a purse instead of a paper bag. I bet the bag will be loved almost as much as the gift card in it.
Thanks for stopping by,
SonyaAnn
PS-I'm off to clean so I won't be able to get back to you for a bit! Have a great day, I'm sure that I will be. And I'm still in need of a sarcasm button!

Have a great day! And very cute idea with the purse!
That is a great idea (like everyone before me wrote). Really cute to give to a teen with a gift card inside instead of just an envelope and gift card.

Great idea! I love being able to give (or receive) gifts that are wrapped in something that is also part of the gift.
Annie Jones-I MISSED YOU! I'm glad that you are back!
Cute, cute idea!

LOVE it!
I LOVE the dollar store!
kado!-I could live there and the rent would probably be cheap!
Awesome idea!!! I love reusables, and cloth totes definitely last longer than the ones specifically made for gift bags.
Jules @ Lovely Las Vegas-She was really jazzed about the bag and not so much the gift certificate!!!
