Spinoff to my gift bags post...

What do you do with all the gift bags you receive? I have about a billion of them--mostly baby girl ones Chat Icon. They're overtaking my attic! I try to recycle them, but I think there are more than I could ever use, yet I feel bad throwing them out!

I recycle them. After my shower, though, I was overrun with shower/wedding themed ones, so a lot of those got tossed.

My mom uses some of them for scrapbooking.
I try to recycle if they are in good shape.

I toss them. I just find that I never reuse them, not that I would notice or care if someone gave me a pre-used gift bag. Go figure.

If they are in good shape, I save them and use them as I use shopping bags - like to bring things into work for example.

I reuse them, sell them at garage sales and use the larger ones as shopping bags

i re-use. if it's a themed bag, like the ones i got from my shower and wedding, i figure i'll know someone eventually who is getting married, and i'll hang onto them anyway.
