I do now, and it's so much easier/cheaper than rushing to the store last minute (:

Yes, if they're in good condition! If they're a little beat up, I use them for other daily purposes.

Yup. I actually just threw out (well, put in the recycling) a bunch of baby shower gift bags yesterday, and felt really guilty about it!

Yes, I store them with my wrapping paper and reuse them whenever I can.

Yes! We will never buy a wedding or baby shower gift bag again. We have a million!

Definitely. I use them until they are no good anymore. I re-use tissue paper too if it is in good shape.

I definitely do! Reuse, repurpose, recycle whenever we can. Plus, some are just too cute to only use once!

I haven't bought a gift bag since I got married more than three years ago I can't imagine NOT reusing them all! The Christmas ones have gone back and forth between us and the in-laws for years.

I do too! They cost more than wrapping paper but I feel less guilty buying them because I do get more use out of them! @beaker: We do this too! In fact I even started using pretty Christmas fabric for some gifts with my in-laws because my mil is one of the only people who doesn't think it is a crazy idea! She saves bows, tags and even the wrapping paper when possible!

Haha, yes, and I really like the idea of passing the same ones back and forth!
In all fairness though, we have pretty much eliminated gifts among our immediate families.

Yes! The really cute ones get used between my mom, sister, and I constantly! We don't like them to go outside the family because they're so cute!! Haha

Yes! We saved all of ours since out bridal shower. We have only needed to buy a handful of bags in the last 2 1/2 years, due too size.
