I sew up bags about every other year. I just buy Christmas fabric when it goes on clearance and then (try to remember to) sew it all into bags throughout the year. They're great to have on hand - makes "wrapping" presents go so much faster!
It's also kind of fun when I get one of my bags back, years later. But people tend to keep them, which is perfectly OK too.

What a wonderful idea! We just had our Christmas Party, with goofy gift exchange. Next year I will "Try to Remember" to tell them to use fabric for wrapping. Ugly fabric. You could make bags of any size for the gift. Turn the top down about an inch from the edge, sew a casing, and lead some of the selvedge through there. Use a very long stitch when sewing these bags and they will be easy to undo and use for ..... anything.

I have to laugh, as I have been wrapping my gifts with fabric for years. The gifts go to non-sewers with the instructions that I get the fabric back when they have unwrapped them. The gifts are unwrapped when I am there, so no chance of the fabric being thrown away. I figured this was a green way of wrapping gifts and I get to save on wrapping paper to boot and no paper mess when through.
