      When My baby showers happened, there weren't gift bags, however I used the wrapping paper for their drawers, also.
      I cut a 6" slit in the back of the Mylar balloons and stuffed them w/ tissue paper. Cut the balloon ribbon short and hung three high on the wall above the changing table. Easy to wipe the dust off; stayed bright and the boys loved looking at them. When they became more agile, I simply took them down for safety and put up a picture.

      Hi, Just last week I was at the Dollar Tree and saw 2 of the prettiest XL gift bags with gorgeous outdoor Christmas scenes. I bought them solely with the plan to cut out that scene and frame them. So glad I did- they make me smile every time I look at them. I LOVE your placemat idea - especially for kids birthday parties - will save buying a new tablecloth for every party.

      These are fun ideas! My whole family reuses bags from any occasion. Then if we we a really beautiful or fun one or two, we add them in to replace any overly used ones.
      When they are in very good condition, I also donate them to programs collecting and giving Christmas presents out in the community. Some programs allow parents to select gifts from new donated items. Then they can choose wrapping paper or bags along with them.

      I reused mine for years and I finally got so tired of them and/or the children grew up and I didn't have a use for the ones for little ones. I used one bag to store the others that I wanted to get rid of. I left them by the front door and then when friends and family would visit I would let them know they were available to take. They sure didn't sit there very long. Also did the same with the small number of cards I had left over from multiple boxes. I did the same with birthday bags as well.

    I've stopped using regular 'gift' bags altogether. When looking for a bag to put a gift in, I now look at something that can be used to carry groceries home. We have to pay for bags in Australia (and they're almost all now made of paper) or bring your own. Before this was introduced, I'd actually given family members a set of reusable (nice ones, not yukky) fabric shopping bags that fold up neatly to carry in your handbag. I've found that these types of bags are now so widely available that their cost compares well to buying a gift bag. For Christmas upcoming, I've bought felt bottle bags since I've made some lighted bottles with designs (from good, glass recycled bottles). So everyone's getting a reusable felt bag; a couple of lanterns; and a bunch of handmade accessories.
    You can't help what others give you though!

    I use my old Christmas cards and make them into name tags for gifts. Sometimes I use the whole front of the card or I cut around certain pictures on the front of the card. Make sure there is no writing on the back. Use a hole puncher near top and attach ribbon. Plenty of room on the back to write stuff.

I make a template of a Christmas tree 🎄, place the middle of the card on pattern. Cut out 'card trees', punch holes, add baker's twine, thin ribbon, etc. Then hang the Christmas garland over a door or on the Christmas tree. Also, for templates, I make different types of Christmas trees, for different garlands.

    This has nothing to do with Christmas but works wonders. Tired of having to buy a new address book and updating every couple of years? Well, I ended up with several empty photo albums. The 3 ring binders that will hold 3 x 5 cards. I put one address on a 3 x 5 card and put the cards, in alphabetical order, in the photo album with several empty spaces in between. Now I can make changes on the 3 x 5 cards. When too many changes, on that card, just put a new 3 x 5 card in replacing that address. You can add and delete addresses and don't have to buy anymore new address books and don't have to spend days re-copying😮 everything.

    Another one for the brown paper bags is to make “leatherette” for costumes and crafts. Crumple the bag repeatedly, add light crayon streaks of brown or black, then rub it all over with a stick of beeswax or paraffin, repeat the crumpling maneuver and another layer of wax. I learned that from a home decor show in the early 90’s 😂

    I love your envelope technique. I used to have some envelope templates that I would use to cut out and fold. I haven't seen it around in years. (Oops!) I don't know why I didn't think of doing it your way but I will definitely do this now.
    By the way, I no longer give out cards. (It doesn't seem to be done by most people anymore. I used to send over 50 each Christmas but barely anyone does this. Pity. That's due the ridiculous costs of postage that have occurred over the years with Aust.Post).
    Instead of making or buying a card, I make a flat ornament instead. I use air drying clay to make the shape. Then I either paint or design something for the front of the disc. I write my message and the year on the back. You can use ready-made ceramic discs or get the timber ones, of course. I top it off with a small string of beads and some pretty ribbon.

    My favorite is the envelopes. I'm a card maker and for various holidays I use my cricut machine to create lovely box cards. The cards are oversized so the designers usually provide an envelope cut file as well. I use 12x12 scrapbook papers for these but this is going to be my new go to for christmas cards. I use old calendar pictures for this sometimes too but they are a bit weird in texture sometimes and don't fold as well. Thanks for all the great ideas.

    Great ideas. I want to THANK YOU! I think my favorite is the decoupage on the wood plaque, but I love all of your ideas.
    We ripped a big gift bag tonight, Christmas. I kept it but had no idea why. Ha!!! Now, I know!
    Thank you.
    God bless you and your loved ones
