few there thats on ebay

I dont use gift bags anymore. I give presents in reuseable bags now

But have you thought of making your own?



I know that this looks rubbish but if you are arty then you can make your own design with these and they are far cheaper than proper gift bags. If you have any old xmas cards than you can cut the picture out and stick it on the front and make them a bit more personal?

If you are going to use Yellow Moon and have children check whether the school has a code for them. Our school does and if we quote it the school earn commission in goods.

Did any one else who uses studio find their paper thin? I love some of the designs and ordered last year but it seemed to tear really easily

Last year I wrapped all gifts (apart from the children's) in parcel paper - brown, red and green from Tesco and tied with string. Was going for the rustic look and it worked really well.

I've also bought brown paper food bags before from Home Bargains - something like £1 for 10 and decorated them.

What about studio? they normally do some pretty christmas bits. Although I haven't seen their catalogue this year.

I am thinking about just using plain parcel paper on most of the familys presents then using different coloured curling ribbon so they stand out and all look different. For the children I have princess paper for my daughter and need to find some boys stuff nearer christmas for my son.

I wrapped all my presents last year and the year before like this. It looks really pretty and I got lots of compliments about them (especially off my boyfriends parents as I'd wrapped all his familys presents too as I love wrapping presents!). I think I'll probably do the same this year (although I might try printing something on the paper with an ink stamp. I also have lots of little brown bags that I've been collecting at work when people come back from the lovely little deli cafe with their sandwiches as I thought they might look nice decorated. I have loads now though, oops!
